Answer:
Solution: A)
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation Solving
We must find the value or values of x that satisfy the given equation
[tex](x-2)(x-3)=(x+1)(x+2)[/tex]
This is an apparent second-degree equation, but we'll soon find it's not. We expand the products:
[tex]x^2-5x+6=x^2+3x+2[/tex]
The quadratic terms are canceled, so our equation becomes linear
[tex]-5x+6=3x+2[/tex]
Move the variables to the left and the independent terms to the right
-5x-3x=2-6
Operating
-8x=-4
Solving for x
x=-4/-8=0.5
x=0.5
Solution: A)
