Can you solve 5x2 2x 7?

Answer 1

It helps to give the correct reply if the signs are given.

Possible factors: (5x + 7)(x - 1) or (5x - 7)(x + 1)

Note:

Factors are not a solution. They're only a different way to write the expression.

But that's OK. Only an expression is given, not an equation or a question, so

there's nothing to 'solve', and no answer or solution is required.

Taking the question exactly as it appears, the only possible logically consistent

answers are 'yes' or 'no'.
