Find the roots of this equation 7xsquare - 5x - 2 = 0

x = 1, - 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

You could use the quadratic equation but this can be factored into

(7x + 2) (x - 1). You can verify that by multiplying it out.

Since (7x + 2) (x - 1) = 0, if either factor is 0 then the equation would be equal to 0, thus we get x = 1, - 2/7
