1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve the equation x2=67xx^2 = \frac{6}{7}x using the quadratic formula and simplify the solution.

2. Solution Steps

First, rewrite the equation in the standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
x2=67xx^2 = \frac{6}{7}x
x267x=0x^2 - \frac{6}{7}x = 0
Now, we have a=1a = 1, b=67b = -\frac{6}{7}, and c=0c = 0. The quadratic formula is given by:
x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
Plugging in the values for aa, bb, and cc:
x=(67)±(67)24(1)(0)2(1)x = \frac{-(-\frac{6}{7}) \pm \sqrt{(-\frac{6}{7})^2 - 4(1)(0)}}{2(1)}
x=67±364902x = \frac{\frac{6}{7} \pm \sqrt{\frac{36}{49} - 0}}{2}
x=67±36492x = \frac{\frac{6}{7} \pm \sqrt{\frac{36}{49}}}{2}
x=67±672x = \frac{\frac{6}{7} \pm \frac{6}{7}}{2}
Now we have two possible solutions:
x1=67+672=1272=12712=67x_1 = \frac{\frac{6}{7} + \frac{6}{7}}{2} = \frac{\frac{12}{7}}{2} = \frac{12}{7} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{6}{7}
x2=67672=02=0x_2 = \frac{\frac{6}{7} - \frac{6}{7}}{2} = \frac{0}{2} = 0
So the solutions are x=0x = 0 and x=67x = \frac{6}{7}.

3. Final Answer

0, 6/7
