a. What are the solutions?
b. What are the x-intercepts?
Please help, I keep getting confused and told I do not have the correct answer.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Maybe you understand it, but you're not giving
exactly the answer requested
You are asked to solve this. That means to find the value
or values of x that make it true
7x+%2B+x%28x-3%29+=+0
7x+%2B+x%5E2+-+3x+=+0
x%5E2+%2B+4x+=+0
x%2A%28x+%2B+4%29+=+0
There are 2 ways this can be true
0%2A%280+%2B+4%29+=+0, making x+=+0
and
-4%2A%28-4+%2B+4%29, making x+=+-4
So the solution(s) are x+=+0 and x+=+-4
----------------------------------------------------
Find the x-intercepts of f(x)= 7x + x(x-3)
This is just asking the same question over again
in a different way. It's asking "What values of
x will make f%28x%29+=+0? The answer
is x+=+0 and x+=+-4
