a)8x2+30x+7=0
=>8x2+28x+2x+7=0
=>(8x2+2x)+(28x+7)=0
=>2x(4x+1)+7(4x+1)=0
=>(2x+7)(4x+1)=0
\(\Rightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=-\frac{7}{2}\\x=-\frac{1}{4}\end{cases}}\)
b)(x2-4x)2-8(x2-4x)+15=0
=>x4-8x3+8x2+32x+15=0
=>(x-5)(x+1)(x2-4x-3)=0
\(\Rightarrow\hept{\begin{cases}x=5\\x=-1\\x=2-\sqrt{7};x=\sqrt{7}+2\end{cases}}\)
