OpenStudy (campbell_st):

you are solving a quadratic subtract 7x from both sides then factorise... seems the easiest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me solve step by step

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so \[4x^2 - 7x = 0\] whats the common factor..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?? no clue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorrry x

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so there is an x in both terms... does that make sense put the common factor outside the brackets x( ) = 0 just work out what is inside the brackets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes:) my final answer is and 7/4 is that right?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

but thats not the only answer... what other value can x take..?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

x(4x - 7) = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):
