Question

Enter the solutions from least to greatest.

(X+ 1)(3x + 4) = 0
lesser x =
greater x =

Answer 1

Lesser x = -4/3

Greater x = -1

Explanation:

By the Zero Product Property, the roots are found by setting each factor equal to 0:

x+1 = 0

x = -1

3x+4 = 0

3x = -4

x = -4/3

So, the lesser x is -4/3 and the greater x is -1.
