Use the distributive property to get 2x - 14 = 3x + 24. Subtract 24 from both sides to get 2x - 38 = 3x. Subtract 2x from both sides to get -38 = x.
Answer:
there is no way of solving this because the expression does not equal anything.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The correct factors are
(x-1) and (x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one :
To factorize the equation
x²– x – 2=0
First we look for numbers that when multiplied will result to the constant term and when added will result to the second term (1x, - 2x)
Step two :
We replace the second term with these factors we have
x²–(x-2x)–2=0
x²–x+2x–2=0
Factoring the expression we have
x(x–1)+2(x–1)=0
Hence the factors will be
(x-1) and (x+2)
