Factor GCF (greatest common factor)

2k^2 + 7k

Simplifying 2k2 + 7k = 0 Reorder the terms: 7k + 2k2 = 0 Solving 7k + 2k2 = 0 Solving for variable 'k'. Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'k'. k (7 + 2k) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor 'k' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying k = 0 Solving k = 0 Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying k = 0 Subproblem 2Set the factor ' (7 + 2k) ' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 7 + 2k = 0 Solving 7 + 2k = 0 Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-7' to each side of the equation. 7 + - 7 + 2k = 0 + - 7 Combine like terms: 7 + - 7 = 0 0 + 2k = 0 + - 7 2k = 0 + - 7 Combine like terms: 0 + - 7 = - 7 2k = - 7 Divide each side by '2'. k = - 3.5 Simplifying k = - 3.5Solutionk = {0, - 3.5}
