Find the values of x that make the following equation equal zero: (x-4) (x+7)=0

1 answer

To find the values of x that make the equation equal to zero, we can set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

Setting x - 4 = 0:
x = 4

Setting x + 7 = 0:
x = -7

So, the values of x that make the equation equal zero are x = 4 and x = -7.
