B. X^2 + 2x = -63
C. X^2 - 2x - 63 = 0
D. X^2 = -2x + 63

1 answer

To find which equation has the same solutions as the equation \(x - 7(x + 9) = 0\), we first need to simplify the given equation.

Starting with: \[ x - 7(x + 9) = 0 \] Distributing \( -7 \): \[ x - 7x - 63 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -6x - 63 = 0 \] Adding \(63\) to both sides: \[ -6x = 63 \] Dividing both sides by \(-6\): \[ x = -\frac{63}{6} = -\frac{21}{2} \]

Thus, the only solution to the equation \(x - 7(x + 9) = 0\) is \(x = -\frac{21}{2}\).

Now we will check each of the listed equations to see if they have the same solution.

A. \(x^2 = 2x - 63\)

Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 - 2x + 63 = 0 \] Calculating the discriminant, \(D\): \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = (-2)^2 - 4(1)(63) = 4 - 252 = -248 \quad (\text{no real solutions}) \]

B. \(x^2 + 2x = -63\)

Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 + 2x + 63 = 0 \] Calculating the discriminant, \(D\): \[ D = 2^2 - 4(1)(63) = 4 - 252 = -248 \quad (\text{no real solutions}) \]

C. \(x^2 - 2x - 63 = 0\)

Calculating the discriminant, \(D\): \[ D = (-2)^2 - 4(1)(-63) = 4 + 252 = 256 \quad (\text{two real solutions}) \] Finding the roots: \[ x = \frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{256}}{2(1)} = \frac{2 \pm 16}{2} \] This gives: \[ x = \frac{18}{2} = 9 \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{-14}{2} = -7 \]

D. \(x^2 = -2x + 63\)

Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0 \] Calculating the discriminant, \(D\): \[ D = (2)^2 - 4(1)(-63) = 4 + 252 = 256 \quad (\text{two real solutions}) \] Finding the roots: \[ x = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{256}}{2(1)} = \frac{-2 \pm 16}{2} \] This gives: \[ x = \frac{14}{2} = 7 \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{-18}{2} = -9 \]

None of the equations A, B, C, or D gives the same solution \( x = -\frac{21}{2} \).

Therefore, upon reviewing the question, it appears I miscalculated the arrangements earlier for A and B leading to an incorrect deduction. Thus, let's recap to determine if any original factorization of the quadratic can directly arrive back to check solving schemes; however,

The only viable outcome here seems plausible by isolating every equation via discriminants and summations/segmentation:

  • The PQ forms leading to:
  1. \(x + 14\) [leading to no valid inputs]
  2. Recursive quadratic implications vary widely, imbuing complex numbers.

Conclusively, based on real roots from discriminant explanations, none fit the framing. I will suggest possibly reviewing again from quadratic expansions thoroughly, as solutions diverged at solving segments.
