So just to be clear, equation is: x2 = 2x

I plotted ( y = x2 = 2x ) with the computer, and there are 3 solutions for x.

You might recognize, by intuition, that 22 = 22and figure out that

x = 2 solves the equation, but then again, it might not be so obvious, and then what are the other values of x that solve the equation?

one solution is approximately x = -0.7666647

and the third solution is x = 4.

I don't remember the steps for solving this type of problem.
