Rewrite the following quadratic equation in standard form and then solve by factoring out the GCF: 6x2=22x.(1 point)The smaller solution is x=, and the larger solution is x=

1 answer

To rewrite the given quadratic equation \( 6x^2 = 22x \) in standard form, we need to move all terms to one side of the equation. Subtracting \( 22x \) from both sides gives:

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

Next, we can factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the left side of the equation. The GCF of \( 6x^2 \) and \( -22x \) is \( 2x \):

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

Now, we set each factor equal to zero.

  1. \( 2x = 0 \) \[ x = 0 \]

  2. \( 3x - 11 = 0 \) \[ 3x = 11 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{11}{3} \]

Thus, we have the solutions:

  • Smaller solution: \( x = 0 \)
  • Larger solution: \( x = \frac{11}{3} \)

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