Answer 1

$\bf 4x^2=7x+2\implies 4x^2-7x-2=0\implies (4x+1)(x-2)=0 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ 4x\cdot x=\boxed{4x^2}~\hfill (1)(-2)=\boxed{-2}\hfill (4x\cdot -2)+(1\cdot x)=\boxed{-7x} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} 4x+1=0\implies 4x=-1\implies &x=-\cfrac{1}{4}\\[1em] x-2=0\implies &x=2 \end{cases}$
