(x−10)(7x+1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x−10=07x+1=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
x−10=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+10
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=10
x=107x+1=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
7x+1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
7x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
7x=−1
Divide both sides
77x=7−1
Divide the numbers
x=7−1
