1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $ (x + 7)(4x - 5) = 0 $ using the Zero-Product Property.
2. **Recall the Zero-Product Property:** If the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. That is, if $AB = 0$, then either $A = 0$ or $B = 0$.
3. **Apply the property:** Set each factor equal to zero:
$$ x + 7 = 0 $$
$$ 4x - 5 = 0 $$
4. **Solve each equation:**
For $x + 7 = 0$:
$$ x = -7 $$
For $4x - 5 = 0$:
$$ 4x = 5 $$
$$ \cancel{4}x = \cancel{4} \frac{5}{4} $$
$$ x = \frac{5}{4} $$
5. **Final answer:**
$$ x = -7 \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{5}{4} $$
These are the solutions to the equation using the Zero-Product Property.
