Question

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

Answer 1

Factor out the GCF: 2x^2 − 14x = 2x(x − 7) = 0.

So x = 0 or x = 7.

The smaller solution is x = 0 and the larger solution is x = 7.
