Question

What is (x2 - 7x + 12) = (x - 3)?

Answer 1

Answer: x= 5, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Remove the parentheses

x2-7x+12=x-3

2) Move all terms too one side

x 2 −7x+12−x+3=0

3) Simplify x2-7x+12-x+3 to x2-8x+15

x2-8x+15=0

4) Factor x2-8x+15

(x-5)(x-3)=0

5) Solve (x-5)(x-3)

x= 5, 3

Answer 2

X=15
