Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin the solution by squaring both sides of the given equation. We get:
(3x - 4)^2 = 2x^2 - 2x + 2, or:
9x^2 - 24x + 16 = 2x ^2 - 2x + 2
Combining like terms results in:
7x^2 - 22x + 14 = 0
and the coefficients are a = 7, b = -22, c = 14, so that the discriminant of the quadratic formula, b^2 - 4ac becomes (-22)^2 - 4(7)(14) = 92
According to the quadratic formula, the solutions are
-b ± √discriminant -(-22) ± √92 22 ± √92
x = ------------------------------- = ----------------------- = ------------------------
2a 14 14
