I will do the first one for you, and you can try the rest (should not ask more than one question per post).
So
Thus x=0 and x=7

Solve each equation by factoring or taking square roots.
1.) x^2 - 7x = 0
x(x-7)=0
Since the product is zero, one of the factors must be zero.
x = 0 or x-7 = 0
x = 0 or x = 7
---------------------------
2.) x^2 + 2x - 8 = 0
(x+4)(x-2) = 0
x = -4 or x = 2
---------------------------
3.) (x+3)^2 = 9
x+3 = 3 or x+3=-3
x = 0 or x= -6
========================
4.) 2x^2 - 6x - 8 = 0
2(x^2 - 3x -4 = 0
2(x-4)(x+1) = 0
x = 4 or x = -1
=========================
Cheers,
Stan H.
