Q. Solve for tt.\newline(t+9)(t7)=0(t + 9)(t - 7) = 0\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinet=t = _____ or t=t = _____
  1. Identify Property: Identify the property to use in solving the given equation.\newlineProperty: Zero product property, which states that if the product of two factors is 00, then at least one of the factors must be 00.
  2. Apply Zero Product Property: Apply the zero product property to the equation (t+9)(t7)=0(t + 9)(t - 7) = 0. Set each factor equal to zero: t+9=0t + 9 = 0 and t7=0t - 7 = 0.
  3. Solve First Equation: Solve the first equation t+9=0t + 9 = 0.\newlineSubtract 99 from both sides to isolate tt.\newlinet+99=09t + 9 - 9 = 0 - 9\newlinet=9t = -9
  4. Solve Second Equation: Solve the second equation t7=0t - 7 = 0. Add 77 to both sides to isolate tt. t7+7=0+7t - 7 + 7 = 0 + 7 t=7t = 7
