1. Solve the equation 4x^2 - 28x = 0. Check your solution(s) and state the final solution set.
What do 4x^2 and 28x have in common?
The x? @nikato
Yes and???
They each have a 7 in common, if you mean that @nikato I'm really bad with this stuff, if you couldn't tell haha
\[4x^2 - 28x = 0\]\[4x(x - 7) = 0\]
I am factoring it.
No.4 is not divisible by 7. If you list out all the factors 4: 1,2,4 28: 1,2,4,7,14,28 You should see that the largest factor they have in common is 4 So 4x^2 and 28x both have 4x in common
Okay, I ended up with this 4x=0 4x/4=0/4 x=0 x-7=0 x-7+7=0+7 and my solutions were x=7 x=0
4x^2 -28x =0 okay now take 4 and x common from the above equation 4x(x-7)=0 now 4x(x-7)=0 either 4x=0 or x -7=0 x=0/4 or x=7 x=0 or x=7 this is your answer and solution of how to solve the equation
Thank you @Haseeb96 and @nikato
No problem
