Solve for.

Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second.

(x-7) (-4x - 2) = 0

smaller x =

larger x =

smaller x = -1/2

larger x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-7) (-4x - 2) = 0

Using the zero product property

(x-7) = 0 (-4x - 2) = 0

x-7+7 = 0+7 - 4x-2-2 = 0+2

x=7 - 4x = 2

-4x/-4 = 2/-4

x = - 1/2
