No. To solve the equation it needs to be set to 0.
1. x^2 +7x = 0
Then the GCF needs to be found
2. x(x+7) = 0
Set each to 0
3. x= 0 or x+7=0
Solve for x
4. x=0 or x=-7

A 31​-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first​ piece, and the third
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The length of the first piece is 4 inches, that of the second is 8 inches and the third 19 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the steel = 31 inches

Let the length of the first piece = x

let the length of the second piece = y

Let the length of the third piece = z

So,    

  y = 2x

  z = 4x + 3

x + 2x + 4x +3  = total length of the steel = 31

   7x + 3 + 31

    7x = 31 - 3

    7x = 28

    x= 4 inches

Thus; y = 2x = 2 × 4 = 8 inches

         z = 4x +3 = 4×4 +3 =19 inches

∴The length of the first piece is 4 inches, that of the second is 8 inches and the third 19 inches.
