negative 4 x squared minus 8 x plus 7

4x2−8x+7
4 x squared minus 8 x plus 7

4x2−8x=7
4 x squared minus 8 x is equal to 7

−4x2+8x=7

Answer 1

To translate the statement "The product of 4 and a number squared, minus the product of 8 and that same number is 7" into a quadratic equation, let's break it down:

- "The product of 4 and a number squared" translates to \( 4x^2 \).
- "Minus the product of 8 and that same number" translates to \( -8x \).
- "Is 7" indicates that we will set this expression equal to 7.

Putting it all together, the equation becomes:

\[ 4x^2 - 8x = 7 \]

This matches with the response:

**4x² - 8x = 7** (4 x squared minus 8 x is equal to 7).
