To solve the first equation, we can factor it as a difference of squares:
x² - 36 = 0 (x - 6)(x + 6) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero, we get:
x - 6 = 0 or x + 6 = 0
Solving for x in each case, we find:
x = 6 or x = -6
So the solutions to the first equation are x = 6 and x = -6.
Moving on to the second equation:
3x² - 9x = 0
Factoring out the greatest common factor of 3x, we have:
3x(x - 3) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero, we get:
3x = 0 or x - 3 = 0
Solving for x in each case, we find:
x = 0 or x = 3
So the solutions to the second equation are x = 0 and x = 3.
For the third equation:
9x² = 54x
Dividing both sides by 9x (ensuring we are not dividing by zero), we have:
x = 6
So the solution to the third equation is x = 6.
Moving on to the fourth equation:
x² - 15 = 2x
Rearranging the terms, we have:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factoring this quadratic equation, we find:
(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero, we get:
x - 5 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
Solving for x in each case, we find:
x = 5 or x = -3
So the solutions to the fourth equation are x = 5 and x = -3.
Lastly, for the fifth equation:
x² + 4x = 5
Rearranging the terms, we have:
x² + 4x - 5 = 0
Factoring this quadratic equation, we find:
(x + 5)(x - 1) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero, we get:
x + 5 = 0 or x - 1 = 0
Solving for x in each case, we find:
x = -5 or x = 1
So the solutions to the fifth equation are x = -5 and x = 1.
