I hope choices must be given in the problem.
I am showing the method to find the equivalent equation of the above equation. You can match with your given choices.
First step is to expand the first term. So,
(x-4)² = (x - 4)(x - 4) Since a²= a*a
= x² - 4x - 4x + 4 * 4 By multiplying.
= x² -8x + 16 Combine the like terms.
So, (x - 4)² - (x -4) - 6
= x² - 8x + 16 - x + 4 - 6
= x² - 9x + 14 Combine the like terms.
So, equivalent equation of the above equation is x² - 9x + 14 = 0.
Answer:
D: u2 – u – 6 = 0 where u = (x – 4)
