To factor the quadratic equation \(7x^2 = 56x\):

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

  2. Factor out the GCF (Greatest Common Factor): The GCF of \(7x^2\) and \(56x\) is \(7x\). So, we factor the equation as: \[ 7x(x - 8) = 0 \]

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

  4. The solutions are: \[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 8 \]

Based on these steps, the correct option 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 \(x = 8\)

Therefore, the correct answer is the fourth response:

  • Put the quadratic in standard form \(7 x^2 - 56 x = 0\)
  • Factor out the GCF \(7 x (x - 8) = 0\)
  • Set each factor equal to zero \(7 x = 0\) and \(x - 8 = 0\)
  • The solutions are \(x = 0\) and \(x = 8\)
