To solve the quadratic equation \( 7x^2 = 56x \), we first need to move everything to one side of the equation and set it to zero.
-
Put the quadratic in standard form: \[ 7x^2 - 56x = 0 \]
-
Factor out the GCF: \[ 7x(x - 8) = 0 \]
-
Set each factor equal to zero: \[ 7x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x - 8 = 0 \]
-
The solutions are: \[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 8 \]
The correct response based on these steps 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 option that reflects this sequence accurately 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 \( x = 8 \)
