When a product of numbers is equal to zero, then one (or more) of the numbers MUST be zero. This is called the PRODUCT PROPERTY of EQUATIONS.

In this equation:(2x-3)(3x+2)(x-2)(x-7/8)=0 you have four quantities in a product, so set each factor equal to zero and solve:
(2x-3)(3x+2)(x-2)(x-7/8)=0

First solution:
2x-3 = 0
2x=3
x=3%2F2

Second solution:
3x+2 = 0
3x= -2
x=-2%2F3

Third solution:
x-2=0
x=2

Fourth solution:
x-7%2F8 = 0
x= 7%2F8
