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 (Greatest Common Factor): \[ 7x(x - 8) = 0 \]
-
Set each factor equal to zero: \[ 7x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x - 8 = 0 \]
-
Solve for \( x \): \[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 8 \]
Therefore, the correct sequence of steps 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 \( x = 8 \)
The option that matches these steps in the response list 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 \( x = 8 \).
