To solve the quadratic equation \(7x^2 = 56x\), we will first rearrange it into standard form, then factor it, and finally find the solutions. Here are the correct steps:
-
Put the quadratic in standard form:
Move all terms to one side:
\(7x^2 - 56x = 0\) -
Factor out the GCF:
The GCF is \(7x\):
\(7x(x - 8) = 0\) -
Set each factor equal to zero:
\(7x = 0\) and \(x - 8 = 0\) -
The solutions are:
For \(7x = 0\), \(x = 0\)
For \(x - 8 = 0\), \(x = 8\)
Thus, the solutions to the quadratic equation are \(x = 0\) and \(x = 8\).
The correct response from the options provided 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 \(x = 8\)
