Which is a solution to the equation?<br> (х-2)(х + 5) = 18?

jok3333 [9.3K]

$\bf (x-2)(x+5)=18\implies \stackrel{\mathbb{F~O~I~L}}{x^2+3x-10}=18\implies x^2+3x-28=0 \\\\\\ (x-4)(x+7)=0\implies x= \begin{cases} 4\\ -7 \end{cases}$

(2x³+4x²-x+8) / (x² + 3x + 2)

$\dfrac{2x^3+4x^2 -x+8}{x^2 +3x+2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2x^3+6x^2+4x-2x^2-6x-4+x+12}{}\\\\=\dfrac{2x(x^2 +3x+2)-2(x^2 +3x+2)+x+12}{x^2 +3x+2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2x(x^2+3x+2)}{x^2 +3x +2 }- \dfrac{2(x^2 +3x +2)}{x^2 +3x +2 } + \dfrac{x+12}{x^2 +3x+2}\\\\\\=2x-2 + \dfrac{x+2}{x^2 +3x +2}\\\\\\=2x-2 + \dfrac{x+12}{x^2 +2x +x +2}\\\\\\=2x-2 + \dfrac{x+12}{x(x+2) + x+2}\\\\\\=2x-2 + \dfrac{x+12}{(x+1)(x+2)}\\$
