Question

Which method represents a correct way to solve the equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiply -3 by 2.

Multiply x by 2.

Combine like terms.

Subtract 6 from both sides.

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-x (-3 + x )2 = 6

-x (-3 + x )2 = 6

-x (-6 + 2x) = 6

-6x + 2x^2 = 6

2x^2 - 6x - 6 = 6 - 6

2x^2 - 6x - 6 = 0

Multiply -3 by 2.

Multiply x by 2.

Combine like terms.

Subtract 6 from both sides.

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x.
