Question

Solve the equation using the zero-product property. (2x − 8)(7x + 5) = 0 x = –2 or x = 7 x = –4 or x = x = 4 or x = x = 4 or x =

Answer 1

x = 4 or x = -
`(5)/(7)`

Explanation:

Given

(2x - 8)(7x + 5) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 8 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 8 ⇒ x = 4

7x + 5 = 0 ⇒ 7x = - 5 ⇒ x = -
`(5)/(7)`
