The zero product property tells us that if we have
xy=0, then we can assume that x and y both equal 0
so
(4k+5)(k+7)=0
we can assume that 4k+5=0 and k+7=0
so
4k+5=0
minus 5 both sides
4k=-5
divide both sides by 4
k=-5/4
k+7=0
minus 7 both sides
k=-7
k=-5/4 or -7
When we partition a number line from 0 to 1 into six, each segment has a length of 1/6 and the segments are:
1/6. 2/6. 3/6, 4/6, 5/6 , 6/6
Breaking 2/6 into 4 equal parts, we get each part equal to 1/12
