Equation D; the solution set of the equation is {$\frac{1}{3},7$}.

Equation D is directly set up for direct use of the zero factor property as it has already been factorized and all that remains is to equate the two factors to zero. $(3x-1)(x-7)=0$ $(3x-1)=0$ or $(x-7)=0$ $x=\frac{1}{3}$ or $x=7$ Therefore, the solution set of the equation is {$\frac{1}{3},7$}
