Question

if a product twice a number decreased by five and five times a number increased by seven is zero; find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer 5/2 and - 7/5

Product P = (2x1-5)(5x2+7)=0
Solving the binomials, we get
x1=5/2 and x2= -7/5

Answer 2

(2x-5)(5x+7)=0

x=5/2 and x=-7/5 these are the 2 numbers
