Problem

Solving an equation written in factored form Solve. \[ (v+7)(v-5)=0 \] (If there is more than one solution, separate them with commas.)

Solution

Step 1 :Set the first factor equal to zero: \(v + 7 = 0\)

Step 2 :Subtract 7 from both sides: \(v = -7\)

Step 3 :Set the second factor equal to zero: \(v - 5 = 0\)

Step 4 :Add 5 to both sides: \(v = 5\)

Step 5 :So, the solutions to the equation are \(\boxed{v = -7}\) and \(\boxed{v = 5}\)
