To solve the quadratic equation \( 7x^2 = 56x \), we first need to rearrange it into standard form:
-
Put the quadratic in standard form: \[ 7x^2 - 56x = 0 \]
-
Factor out the GCF: \[ 7x(x - 8) = 0 \]
-
Set each factor equal to zero: \[ 7x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x - 8 = 0 \]
-
The solutions are: \[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 8 \]
Therefore, the correct response is:
Put the quadratic in standard form: \( 7x^2 - 56x = 0 \)
Factor out the GCF: \( 7x(x - 8) = 0 \)
Set each factor equal to zero: \( 7x = 0 \) and \( x - 8 = 0 \)
The solutions are: \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 8 \)
This matches the second option from the responses.
