8 times the square of a nonzero number is equal to 96 times the number. What is the number?

A) 12

B) 24

C) 96

D) 4

We can represent the following statement or expression into an equation. Let x be the non zero number that is the unknown of this problem. In this case,

8 x^2 = 96 x

we can cancel out x from both sides, resulting to

8x = 96

x = 12

Answer is A

8x^2 = 96x

8x^2 - 96x = 0

8x (x - 12) = 0

8x = 0 ... x = 0

x - 12 = 0

x = 12

ur number is 12
