Answer:
x would equal -11 or 13
Step-by-step Explanation:
x(x - 2) - 143 = 0
x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0
-2x + x^2 = 143
-143 + (-2x) + x^2 = 0
(x - 13)(x + 11)
x - 13 = 0
Add 13 to both sides
x = 13
x + 11 = 0
Subtract 11 from both sides
x = -11
Answer:
2x - 13

(-4x - 2) + (— • (12x - 22))
2
Step 2 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
12x - 22 = 2 • (6x - 11)
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
12x - 22 = 2 • (6x - 11)
Equation at the end of step 3 :
(-4x - 2) + (6x - 11)
