m2 - 8m = 0
Factor the expression on the left:
m (m - 8) = 0
If either factor is zero, then the two sides are equal:
m - 8 = 0
m = 8
m = 0

2x2-5 = 0 +5 +5 2x2 = 5 /2 /2 x2 = 5/2 sqrt(x2) = sqrt (5/2) x = sqrt(5/2) Ps: Sqrt means square root
Not sure what you mean by "zero element". If an expression is equal to zero, and you can factor it, then at least one of the factors must be zero; this is often useful to solve an equation.
Zero is an acceptable value for a variable. As a general rule, if you solve an equation and get x equals zero, that's just what it is: zero. There is one solution. Example: 10x +1 = 5x +1 5x = 1 - 1 5x = 0 x = 0 There is one solution, zero. If you solve for x and get two solutions, such as 2 and 0, there are two answers. Later on, if you've studied domain and range (the numbers you can use for x so that the equation is still defined, (i.e. not 1/0, or the square root of negative 1), you may find that x = 0 does not always work. You need to check first, to see if zero is in the domain, before you say it's an answer.
Multiplication:- If: f/3 = 0.27 Then by multiplying both sides by 3: f = 0.81
Any number to the power of zero equals 1 50 = 1 120 = 1 13120 = 1 ...
