To solve the equation (7x-5)(x-2) = 0, we set each factor equal to zero:
7x-5 = 0 or x-2 = 0
Solving the first equation for x, we add 5 to both sides:
7x = 5
Then, we divide both sides by 7 to isolate x:
x = 5/7
For the second equation, we add 2 to both sides:
x = 2
The solutions to the equation (7x-5)(x-2) = 0 are x = 5/7 and x = 2.
Therefore, the solutions in reduced fraction form are:
x = 5/7 and x = 2.
Solve the following equation. Write your answer in reduced fraction form, if necessary.
(7x−5)(x−2)=0
