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.

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

  2. Factor out the GCF: \[ 7x(x - 8) = 0 \]

  3. Set each factor equal to zero: \[ 7x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x - 8 = 0 \]

  4. 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 \( x = 8 \)
