No, because x/2 divides x by two, while -2x multiplies x by -2.

X(x+3) + 34 = (x +5)(x+2)

My name is Ann [436]

X(x + 3) + 34 = (x + 5)(x + 2)

First, expand to remove parentheses.
$x^{2} + 3x + 34 = x^{2} + 2x + 5x + 10$
Second, add '2x + 5x' to get '7x'.
$x^{2} + 3x + 34 = x^{2} + 7x + 10$
Third, cancel out ' $x^{2}$ ' on both sides.
$3x + 34 = 7x + 10$
Fourth, subtract '3x' from both sides.
$34 = 7x + 10 - 3x$
Fifth, subtract '7x - 3x' to get '4x'.
$34 = 4x + 10$
Sixth, subtract '10' from both sides.
$34 - 10 = 4x$
Seventh, subtract '34 - 10' to get '24'.
$24 = 4x$
Eighth, divide both sides by '4', leaving the 'x' by itself.
$\frac{24}{4} =x$
Ninth, since '24 ÷ 4 = 6', simplify the fraction to '6'.
$6 = x$
Tenth, switch your sides to get the answer.
$x = 6$
