Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the quadratic equation 8x+56x=08x^{} +56x =0 . We are looking for the solutions to this equation, i.e., the values of xx that make the equation true.

STEP 2

The first step in solving a quadratic equation is to set the equation to zero. In this case, the equation is already set to zero.
8x2+56x=08x^{2} +56x =0

STEP 3

Next, we can simplify the equation by factoring out the greatest common factor from the left side of the equation.x(8x+56)=0x(8x +56) =0

STEP 4

We can further simplify the equation by factoring out8 from the term in the parentheses.
x(8(x+7))=0x(8(x +7)) =0

STEP 5

Now we have a product of two terms equal to zero. According to the zero product property, if a product of factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.
So, we can set each factor equal to zero and solve for xx.
x=0x =08(x+7)=08(x +7) =0

STEP 6

olving the second equation for xx gives usx+=0x + =0

STEP 7

Subtract7 from both sides to isolate xx.
x=7x = -7So, the solutions to the equation x2+56x=0x^{2} +56x =0 are x=0x =0 and x=7x = -7.
Therefore, options C and D are correct.
