Answer 1

To rewrite the equation \(6x^2 = 22x\) in standard form, first, move all terms to one side of the equation:

\[
6x^2 - 22x = 0
\]

Next, factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the left side:

The GCF of \(6x^2\) and \(-22x\) is \(2x\), so we factor it out:

\[
2x(3x - 11) = 0
\]

Now, we can solve for \(x\) by setting each factor equal to zero:

1. \(2x = 0\)
- Dividing both sides by 2 gives \(x = 0\).

2. \(3x - 11 = 0\)
- Add 11 to both sides:
\[
3x = 11
\]
- Divide by 3:
\[
x = \frac{11}{3}
\]

Thus, the smaller solution is \(x = 0\), and the larger solution is \(x = \frac{11}{3}\).

Final answers:
- The smaller solution is \(x = 0\).
- The larger solution is \(x = \frac{11}{3}\).
