How do you solve by factoring if you only have something like n squared plus 5n equals 0?

Answer 1

n^2 + 5n = 0Where there is no constant term, then there is one monomial and one binomial factors. In this case the monomial is n and the binomial is (n + 5)

So n*(n + 5) = 0 which leads to the solutions n = 0 or n = 5.

Answer 2

If you mean: n^2 +5n = 0 then it is n(n+5) = 0 when factored

Answer 3

If, as here, there is no constant term, it is particularly easy to factor. Just take out the factor "n", since it is a common factor of both terms!

Answer 4

n(n + 5)

n = 0, -5
