Question
$$x^2-6x = 2x$$
Answer
$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = 0 & x_2 = 8 \\[1 em] \end{matrix} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} x^2-6x &= 2x&& \text{move all terms to the left hand side } \\[1 em]x^2-6x-2x &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]x^2-8x &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
In order to solve $ \color{blue}{ x^{2}-8x = 0 } $, first we need to factor our $ x $.
$$ x^{2}-8x = x \left( x-8 \right) $$$ x = 0 $ is a root of multiplicity $ 1 $.
The second root can be found by solving equation $ x-8 = 0$.
