Solution

The image contains the following equation:

(4x+7)2=0(4x + 7)^2 = 0

To solve this equation, we'll take the square root of both sides.

Step 1: Take the square root of both sides.

Since the square of a number is zero only if the number itself is zero, we can write: 4x+7=04x + 7 = 0

Step 2: Solve the equation for xx.

Subtract 7 from both sides: 4x=74x = -7 Now, divide both sides by 4: x=74x = -\frac{7}{4}

Final Answer:

The solution to the equation is: x=74x = -\frac{7}{4}
