Here are the solutions for the circled problems:

Part a· 2 steps

  1. Set each factor equal to zero.

    x−4=0orx+7=0x - 4 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x + 7 = 0
  2. Solve for xx.

    x=4orx=−7x = 4 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -7

    The solutions are x=4,−7\boxed{x = 4, -7}.

Part b

x=0,−8x = 0, -8

  1. Set each factor equal to zero.

    2x=0orx+8=02x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x + 8 = 0
  2. Solve for xx.

    x=0orx=−8x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -8

    The solutions are x=0,−8\boxed{x = 0, -8}.

Part d

x=7,−7x = 7, -7

  1. Add 12 to both sides of the equation.

    x2−12+12=37+12x^2 - 12 + 12 = 37 + 12 x2=49x^2 = 49
  2. Take the square root of both sides.

    x=±49x = \pm\sqrt{49} x=±7x = \pm 7

    The solutions are x=7,−7\boxed{x = 7, -7}.

Part e

x=53,−53x = \frac{5}{3}, -\frac{5}{3}

  1. Divide both sides by 9.

    9x29=259\frac{9x^2}{9} = \frac{25}{9} x2=259x^2 = \frac{25}{9}
  2. Take the square root of both sides.

    x=±259x = \pm\sqrt{\frac{25}{9}} x=±53x = \pm\frac{5}{3}

    The solutions are x=53,−53\boxed{x = \frac{5}{3}, -\frac{5}{3}}.

Part f

x=1,−1x = 1, -1

  1. Divide both sides by 4.

    4x24=44\frac{4x^2}{4} = \frac{4}{4} x2=1x^2 = 1
  2. Take the square root of both sides.

    x=±1x = \pm\sqrt{1} x=±1x = \pm 1

    The solutions are x=1,−1\boxed{x = 1, -1}.

Part h

x=6,−6x = 6, -6

  1. Add 4 to both sides of the equation.

    x2−4+4=32+4x^2 - 4 + 4 = 32 + 4 x2=36x^2 = 36
  2. Take the square root of both sides.

    x=±36x = \pm\sqrt{36} x=±6x = \pm 6

    The solutions are x=6,−6\boxed{x = 6, -6}.

Part h(i)

x=4,−4x = 4, -4

  1. Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.

    20−4=x2+4−420 - 4 = x^2 + 4 - 4 16=x216 = x^2
  2. Take the square root of both sides.

    x=±16x = \pm\sqrt{16} x=±4x = \pm 4

    The solutions are x=4,−4\boxed{x = 4, -4}.

    j)

  3. Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

    5x2+2−2=7−25x^2 + 2 - 2 = 7 - 2 5x2=55x^2 = 5
  4. Divide both sides by 5.

    5x25=55\frac{5x^2}{5} = \frac{5}{5} x2=1x^2 = 1
  5. Take the square root of both sides.

    x=±1x = \pm\sqrt{1} x=±1x = \pm 1

    The solutions are x=1,−1\boxed{x = 1, -1}.
