1. The problem asks us to solve the equation using the Zero-Product Property: $$(3x - 7)(2x + 1) = 0$$
2. The Zero-Product Property states that if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. So, we set each factor equal to zero:
$$3x - 7 = 0$$
$$2x + 1 = 0$$
3. Solve the first equation:
$$3x - 7 = 0$$
Add 7 to both sides:
$$3x = 7$$
Divide both sides by 3:
$$x = \frac{7}{3}$$
4. Solve the second equation:
$$2x + 1 = 0$$
Subtract 1 from both sides:
$$2x = -1$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$x = \frac{-1}{2}$$
5. Therefore, the solutions are:
$$x = \frac{7}{3} \text{ and } x = -\frac{1}{2}$$
