Q. Solve for x x .\newlineEnter the solutions from least to greatest.\newline(x4)(5x+1)=0 lesser x= greater x= \begin{array}{l} (x-4)(-5 x+1)=0 \\ \text { lesser } x=\square \\ \text { greater } x=\square \end{array}
  1. Factored Equation: Factored equation: (x4)(5x+1)=0(x-4)(-5x+1)=0\newlineTo find the roots, set each factor equal to zero and solve for xx.
  2. First Factor: First factor: x4=0x - 4 = 0\newlineSolve for x:\newlinex4+4=0+4x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4\newlinex=4x = 4
  3. Second Factor: Second factor: 5x+1=0-5x + 1 = 0 Solve for xx: 5x+11=01-5x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1 5x=1-5x = -1 x=1/5x = -1 / -5 x=1/5x = 1/5 or 0.20.2
  4. Final Solutions: Now we have two solutions for xx: 44 and 0.20.2. We need to enter the solutions from least to greatest. 0.20.2 is less than 44.
