Solve the following quadratic equation by factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF): 2x2−14x=0
.(1 point)
The smaller solution is x=
, and the larger solution is x=
.

To solve the quadratic equation \(2x^2 - 14x = 0\) by factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF), follow the steps below:

  1. Identify the GCF: The GCF of the terms \(2x^2\) and \(-14x\) is \(2x\).

  2. Factor out the GCF: \[ 2x(x - 7) = 0 \]

  3. Set each factor to zero: \[ 2x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 7 = 0 \]

  4. Solve for \(x\):

    • From \(2x = 0\): \[ x = 0 \]

    • From \(x - 7 = 0\): \[ x = 7 \]

So, the solutions to the equation are:

  • The smaller solution is \(x = 0\).
  • The larger solution is \(x = 7\).
