Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 0 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation
1)
Expand
2) x² + x + x² - x - 2x + 2 = -1(x - 2)(x + 1)
Simplify
3) 2x² -2x + 2 = -1(x² + x - 2x - 2)
4) 2x² - 2x + 2 = -x² + x + 2
Equal to zero
5) 2x² - 2x + 2 + x² - x - 2 = 0
6) 3x² - 3x = 0
Factor
7) 3x(x - 1) = 0
8) 3x₁ = 0 x₂ - 1 = 0
9) x₁ = 0/3 x₂ = 1
10) x₁ = 0 x₂ = 1
