To solve the quadratic equation \( 7x^2 = 56x \), we first need to rearrange it into standard form \( 7x^2 - 56x = 0 \).
Next, we can factor out the GCF (greatest common factor) from the equation. The GCF in this case is \( 7x \):
\[ 7x(x - 8) = 0 \]
Now, we set each factor equal to zero:
- \( 7x = 0 \)
- \( x - 8 = 0 \)
Solving these equations gives us:
- From \( 7x = 0 \), we get \( x = 0 \).
- From \( x - 8 = 0 \), we get \( x = 8 \).
Thus, the solutions are \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 8 \).
The correct table of steps is as follows:
- 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 \( x = 8 \)
From the provided options, the correct response that reflects these steps is this one:
Put the quadratic in standard form: \( 7x^2 + 56x = 0 \) (should be \( 7x^2 - 56x = 0 \))
Factor out the GCF: \( 7x(x-8)=0 \)
Set each factor equal to zero: \( 7x=0 \) and \( x + 8=0 \) (this one has a typo, should be \( x - 8 = 0 \))
The solutions are: \( x = -8 \) (this is incorrect, should be \( x = 8 \)) and \( x = 0 \)
