Answer:
x = -7, 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is written as a product equal to zero. The "zero product rule" tells us that a product is zero if and only if one or more factors are zero. Each factor will be zero when x takes on a value equal to the opposite of the constant in that factor.
x -5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x +7 = 0 ⇒ x = -7
The solutions to the equation are x = -7, 5.
