Answer:

The solution to the quadratic equation:

[tex]x=0,\:x=30[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

[tex]6x-0.2x^2=0[/tex]

6x - 0.2x · x = 0

Factor out common term -x

-x (0.2x - 6) = 0

Using the zero factor principle

if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)

[tex]x=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:0.2x-6=0[/tex]

solving

[tex]0.2x-6=0[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 10

[tex]0.2x\cdot \:10-6\cdot \:10=0\cdot \:10[/tex]

Refine

[tex]2x-60=0[/tex]

Add 60 to  both sides

[tex]2x-60+60=0+60[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]2x=60[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{60}{2}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x=30[/tex]

Thus, the solution to the quadratic equation:

[tex]x=0,\:x=30[/tex]
