Factor out common term: Factor out the common term h from the equation.h(h−16)=0
Solve for h: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for h.First factor: h=0Second factor: h−16=0, which gives h=16
Check solutions: Check the solutions in the original equation to ensure they do not result in any mathematical errors.For h=0: (0)2−16(0)=0, which simplifies to 0=0, so this is a valid solution.For h=16: (16)2−16(16)=256−256, which simplifies to 0=0, so this is also a valid solution.
