Simplifying
-2.4(x + 5)(x + -7) = 0

Reorder the terms:
-2.4(5 + x)(x + -7) = 0

Reorder the terms:
-2.4(5 + x)(-7 + x) = 0

Multiply (5 + x) * (-7 + x)
-2.4(5(-7 + x) + x(-7 + x)) = 0
-2.4((-7 * 5 + x * 5) + x(-7 + x)) = 0
-2.4((-35 + 5x) + x(-7 + x)) = 0
-2.4(-35 + 5x + (-7 * x + x * x)) = 0
-2.4(-35 + 5x + (-7x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 5x + -7x = -2x
-2.4(-35 + -2x + x2) = 0
(-35 * -2.4 + -2x * -2.4 + x2 * -2.4) = 0
(84 + 4.8x + -2.4x2) = 0

Solving
84 + 4.8x + -2.4x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2.4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2.4'.
-35 + -2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '35' to each side of the equation.
-35 + -2x + 35 + x2 = 0 + 35

Reorder the terms:
-35 + 35 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 35

Combine like terms: -35 + 35 = 0
0 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 35
-2x + x2 = 0 + 35

Combine like terms: 0 + 35 = 35
-2x + x2 = 35

The x term is -2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2x + 1 + x2 = 35 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2x + x2 = 35 + 1

Combine like terms: 35 + 1 = 36
1 + -2x + x2 = 36

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1)(x + -1) = 36

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -1) equal to 6 and -6.

Subproblem 1

x + -1 = 6 Simplifying x + -1 = 6 Reorder the terms: -1 + x = 6 Solving -1 + x = 6 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + x = 6 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + x = 6 + 1 x = 6 + 1 Combine like terms: 6 + 1 = 7 x = 7 Simplifying x = 7

Subproblem 2

x + -1 = -6 Simplifying x + -1 = -6 Reorder the terms: -1 + x = -6 Solving -1 + x = -6 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + x = -6 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + x = -6 + 1 x = -6 + 1 Combine like terms: -6 + 1 = -5 x = -5 Simplifying x = -5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {7, -5}
