1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the equation (6x+7)(x+1)=0(6x+7)(x+1) = 0 for xx.

2. Solution Steps

To solve the equation (6x+7)(x+1)=0(6x+7)(x+1) = 0, we set each factor equal to zero.
Case 1: 6x+7=06x+7 = 0
Subtract 7 from both sides:
6x=76x = -7
Divide by 6:
x=76x = -\frac{7}{6}
Case 2: x+1=0x+1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides:
x=1x = -1
Therefore, the solutions are x=76x = -\frac{7}{6} and x=1x = -1.

3. Final Answer

x=76,1x = -\frac{7}{6}, -1
