Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x

=

2

x

=

5

Step-by-step explanation:

x

2

+

7

x

+

10

=

0

We could right the equation in another form using brackets.

(

x

+

2

)

(

x

+

5

)

=

0

In order to get two numbers to multiply and give 0, at least one number has to be 0.

a stands for the first bracket and b for the second.

a x b = 0

a=0 or b=0 to make this equation valid.

Therefore x= -2 or x= -5 because -2+2=0 and -5+5=0 according to both brackets.
