Responses

Put the quadratic in standard form 7x2−56x=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=−7 and x=8 Put the quadratic in standard form 7 x squared minus 56 x equals 0 Factor out the GCF 7 x left parenthesis x minus 8 right parenthesis equals 0 Set each factor equal to zero 7 x equals 0 and x minus 8 equals 0 The solutions are x equals negative 7 and x equals 8

Put the quadratic in standard form x−8=0
Factor out the GCF No GCF

1 answer

To solve the equation \(7x^2 = 56x\), we first rearrange it into standard form:

  1. Put the quadratic in standard form:
    \(7x^2 - 56x = 0\)

Next, we factor out the greatest common factor (GCF):

  1. Factor out the GCF:
    \(7x(x - 8) = 0\)

Then, we set each factor equal to zero:

  1. Set each factor equal to zero:
    \(7x = 0\) and \(x - 8 = 0\)

Solving these equations gives us:

  1. The solutions are:
    \(x = 0\) and \(x = 8\)

Based on these steps, the correct table of steps to factor out the GCF and solve the quadratic equation \(7x^2 = 56x\) 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 \(x = 8\)

Thus, the third option in your question is the correct one.
