Procedural Training: Solving Efficiency Offset Equations

In your role as a production supervisor, you are training a new analyst to use a mathematical model for machine efficiency represented by the equation 3p(10p+7)=03p(10p + 7) = 0, where pp is the adjustment factor. Describe the step-by-step procedure for solving this equation using the Zero Product Property. In your explanation, detail how to handle the monomial factor (3p3p) versus the binomial factor (10p+710p + 7), and state the two final numerical solutions for pp.
