thats the quadratic equation, also another method of solving for the roots
you factored it incorrectly
now looking at the expression 27x^2-7x
we look for any common variables or multiplies that they share
notice they both have x in it, so we can factor it out using the distributive property
this now gives us
x(27x-7)
can you solve the problem now?

20x

minus7 from both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no....
the equation after you factor the left side would be
x*(27x-7)=0
now in order to get zero through multiplication, that means one of the multiplies needs to be zero
this means
either x= 0 or 27x-7=0
now solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if x=0 then 27x^2 - 7x= 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no...
there are 2 different answers for x

x is 0 and x is ___ looks like a negative number?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no its positive
SOLVE FOR X
27x-7=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
27x=7 then divide both sides by 7 right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
27...

oops
