Mark the tick against the correct answer in the following:

The solution set of the equation is


To find: Value of x


We have,


Applying



Applying



Taking 2 common from R1



Taking 2 common from R2



Applying



Expanding along R1


4[x{(x)(a+x) – (-x)(a-2x)}] – (-x){(0)(a+x) – (-x)(a)}] = 0


4[x{ax + x2 +ax -2x2}] – (-x){ax}] = 0


4[x{2ax - x2}] + ax2] = 0


4[2ax2 – x3 + ax2] = 0


– x2 + 3ax = 0


-x(x – 3a) = 0


x = 0 , or x = 3a
