To solve the quadratic equation \(7x^2 = 56x\), let's start by rearranging it into standard form by setting 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: \[ 7x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x - 8 = 0 \]
-
Solve for each variable:
- For \(7x = 0\): \(x = 0\)
- For \(x - 8 = 0\): \(x = 8\)
Thus, the solutions are:
- \(x = 0\) and \(x = 8\)
The correct response that describes all these steps 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 \(x = 8\)."
