Question

X squared -8x+14=2x-7

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3 or x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

X² - 8x + 14 = 2x - 7

x² - 8x + 14 - 2x + 7 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation ;

x² - 10x + 21 = 0

-3 and - 7 gives a sum of - 10 and a product of 21

x² - 3x - 7x + 21 = 0

x(x - 3) - 7(x - 3) = 0

(x - 3) = 0 or (x - 7) = 0

x = 3 or x = 7
