The answer is x=4 because if you subtract 2 from both sides. 14 minus 2 equals 12. Therefore, now you should have 5x=2x+12. Subtract 2x from both sides and now it comes up to 3x=12. Divide both sides by 3 and x will equal 4.

White raven [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=/x+1/-/x-2/\\a=/x+1/-/x-2/\\\text{square both sides}\\a^{2}={(x+1)}^{2}+{(x-2)}^{2}-2(x+1)(x-2)\\a^{2}=x^{2}+2x+1+x^{2}-4x+4-2x^{2}+2x+4\\a^{2}=9\\a=\sqrt{9}\\a=+3\text{ or }-3$
