Question

Solve the following quadratic equation by factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF): 2x^(2)−14x=0 .(1 point)
The smaller solution is x= [?] , and the larger solution is x= [?].

Answer 1

2x^2 − 14x = 2x(x − 7) = 0, so x = 0 or x = 7.

Smaller solution: x = 0. Larger solution: x = 7.
