\huge\text{Hey there!}


\large\text{Equation}\downarrow


\large\textsf{(2x - 8)(7x + 5) = 0}


\large\text{Step-by-Step}\downarrow


\large\text{SIMPLIFY EACH SIDES OF THE EQUATION}


\large\textsf{14x}\mathsf{^2} \large\textsf{ - 14x - 40 = 0}


\large\text{FACTOR the LEFT SIDE of the EQUATION}


\large\textsf{2 (7x + 5) (x - 4) = 0}


\large\text{SET the FACTORS to EQUAL 0}


\large\textsf{7x + 5 = 0 OR x - 4 = 0}


\large\text{SIMPLIFY BOTH OF YOUR EQUATIONS \& YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Therefore, your ANSWER is: \bf x = }\mathsf{\bf - (5)/(7)\large\textsf{ \bf or x = 4}}}} \huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
