Answer:

x=-113

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x+4)−3(x−1)=x−1x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(3x+4)−3(x−1)=x−1x

(2)(3x)+(2)(4)+(−3)(x)+(−3)(−1)=x+−1x(Distribute)

6x+8+−3x+3=x+−x

(6x+−3x)+(8+3)=(x+−x)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+11=0

Step 2: Subtract 11 from both sides.

3x+11−11=0−11

3x=−11

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x3=−113

x=−113

Answer: $6+\sqrt{21}\ \text{and}\ 6-\sqrt{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadratic equation is

$x^2-12x+15=0$

Solving by completing the square method

$\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+15=0\\\text{add and subtract 36}\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+15+36-36=0\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+36+(-36+15)=0\\\text{using}\ (a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\\\Rightarrow (x-6)^2-21=0\\\Rightarrow (x-6)^2=21\\\Rightarrow x-6=\pm \sqrt{21}\\\Rightarrow x=6\pm \sqrt{21}$
