Solve the equation: 12 - x (x - 3) = (6 - x)(x + 2)

Sagot :

Answer: the answer is 0

Why 0?:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

-x * x= -x²

-x * -3= 3x all  together it is ( -x²+3x+12)

for the other side:

-x * x= -x²

6 * x= 6x and x * 2= 2x and 6 * 2= 12

then subtract 6x-4x= 2x so final would be = −x²+4x+12

Step 2: Add x² to both sides.

−x²+3x+12+x²=−x²+4x+12+x² then we are left with 3x+12=4x+12

Step 3: Subtract 4x from both sides.

3x+12−4x=4x+12−4x  --> −x+12=12

Step 4: Subtract 12 from both sides.

−x+12−12=12−12

−x=0

Step 5: Divide both sides by -1 or -x

x=0
