Full solution

Q. Solve for x x .\newline2x228x+98=0x= \begin{array}{l} 2 x^{2}-28 x+98=0 \\ x=\square \end{array}
  1. Identify the quadratic equation: Identify the quadratic equation to solve.\newlineThe given quadratic equation is 2x228x+98=02x^2 - 28x + 98 = 0.
  2. Factor out the greatest common factor: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) if possible.\newlineThe GCF of the coefficients 22, 28-28, and 9898 is 22. Let's factor it out.\newline2(x214x+49)=02(x^2 - 14x + 49) = 0
  3. Factor the quadratic expression: Factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses.\newlineWe need to find two numbers that multiply to 4949 and add up to 14-14. The numbers 7-7 and 7-7 fit this requirement.\newline2(x7)(x7)=02(x - 7)(x - 7) = 0
  4. Set each factor equal to zero: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for xx.\newlineSince we have a repeated factor, we only need to set it to zero once.\newlinex7=0x - 7 = 0\newlineAdd 77 to both sides to solve for xx.\newlinex=7x = 7
