A. Create an equation for the situation presented above.
72 = 2x^2

x=6

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    72-(2*x^2)=0

Pull out like factors :

  72 - 2x2  =   -2 • (x2 - 36)

Factoring:  x2 - 36  

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 36 is the square of 6

Check :  x2  is the square of  x1  

Factorization is :       (x + 6)  •  (x - 6)

A product of several terms equals zero.  

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.  

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately  

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product  

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solve  :    x-6 = 0  

Add  6  to both sides of the equation :  

                     x = 6
