Thread: quadratic formula question

quick question I have the following

x^2=54x, which I know equals x^2-54x=0

am I correct that I can use the quadratic formula to solve?

Sure, but why don't you just factor out the x?

yes, but it is simpler just to write: x(x-54) = 0

at the moment I`m still not good at factoring,

any pointer on factoring out the x
