Find a X given the following equation:
To solve this problem, let's expand and simplify each side of the given equation:
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
Declares the given expression as a sum
\( (7b-3x)^2 \)
Both sides had after expansion, so they canceled when we subtracted. This turned our equation into a linear equation, which is much easier to solve!
Use the pattern (a-b)² = a² - 2ab + b². So (2x-3)² = (2x)² - 2(2x)(3) + 3² = .
Always double-check your expansions! A single mistake here affects every step that follows. Try expanding each term separately, then combine carefully.
After expansion and simplification, we got a linear equation (-3x = -18), which has exactly one solution. Only true quadratic equations can have two solutions.
Substitute x = 6 into the original equation. Left side: (6+3)² + (2·6-3)² = 81 + 81 = 162. Right side: 5·6(6-3/5) = 30·27/5 = 162. They match! ✓
