What is 2x - x^2? i don't understand this and it's part of my homework

Simplifying x2 + 2x = 0 Reorder the terms: 2x + x2 = 0 Solving 2x + x2 = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'x'. x(2 + x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying x = 0 Solving x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying x = 0 Subproblem 2Set the factor '(2 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + x = 0 Solving 2 + x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + x = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -2 x = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2Solutionx = {0, -2}
