To solve the equation \((x + 7)(x - 3) = 0\), we can set each factor equal to zero:
1. \(x + 7 = 0\)
\[
x = -7
\]
2. \(x - 3 = 0\)
\[
x = 3
\]
Thus, the solutions are \(x = -7\) and \(x = 3\).
Listing the smaller solution first, we have:
\[
x = -7 \text{ and } x = 3
\]
1. \(x + 7 = 0\)
\[
x = -7

2. \(x - 3 = 0\)
\[
x = 3
\]
Thus, the solutions are \(x = -7\) and \(x = 3\).
