Answer: x=3.500

Step-by-step explanation: product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

2x-7 = 0

Add 7 to both sides of the equation :

2x = 7

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

x = 7/2 = 3.500
