$x = 0 or x = 10$

When working with a quadratic, check first to see if it can be factorised.

$x^2 -10x= 0 " x is a common factor"$

$x(x-10)= 0$

If two factors multiply to give 0, one of them must be equal to 0

Either $x = 0, " or "x - 10 =0$

$" If " x- 10 = 0, rArr x = 10$

So the two possible solutions for $x$ are $x =0 or x= 10$
