Find the roots
x1=0,x2=7
Evaluate
(x−7)(−x2)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(x−7)(−x2)=0
Multiply the terms
−x2(x−7)=0
Change the sign
x2(x−7)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=0x−7=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x−7=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
x−7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=7
x=0x=7
Solution
x1=0,x2=7
