Question

a) (x + 2)(x + 3)- (x- 2)(x + 5) = 0;
b) (2x + 3)(x - 4) + (x- 5)(x- 2) = (3x- 5)(x- 4);
c) (8- 5x)(x + 2) + 4(x- 2)(x + I ) + 2(x- 2)(x + 2) = 0;
d) (8x- 3)(3x + 2)- (4x + 7)(x + 4) = (2x + 1)(5x- I)- 33.

Answer 1

a)    (x + 2)(x + 3) - (x - 2)(x + 5) = 0
<=> x² + 3x + 2x + 6 - (x² + 5x - 2x - 10) = 0
<=> x² + 3x + 2x + 6 - x² - 5x + 2x + 10 = 0
<=> 2x + 16 = 0
<=> 2x = -16
<=> x = -8

b)    (2x + 3)(x - 4) + (x - 5)(x - 2) = (3x - 5)(x - 4)
<=> (2x + 3)(x - 4) + (x - 5)(x - 2) - (3x - 5)(x - 4) = 0
<=> 2x² - 8x + 3x - 12 + x² - 2x - 5x + 10 - (3x² - 12x - 5x + 20) = 0
<=> 2x² - 8x + 3x - 12 + x² - 2x - 5x + 10 - 3x² + 12x + 5x - 20 = 0
<=> 5x = 12 - 10 + 20
<=> 5x = 22
<=>   x = 22/5

c)    (8 - 5x)(x + 2) + 4(x - 2)(x + 1) + 2(x - 2)(x + 2) = 0
<=> 8x + 16 - 5x² - 10x + (4x - 8)(x + 1) + 2(x² - 4) = 0
<=> 8x + 16 - 5x² - 10x + 4x² + 4x - 8x - 8 + 2x² - 8 = 0
<=> x² - 6x = 0
<=> x(x - 6) = 0
<=> x = 0 hay     x - 6 = 0
                  I<=> x      = 6

d)    (8x - 3)(3x + 2) - (4x + 7)(x + 4) = (2x + 1)(5x - 1) - 33
<=> 24x² + 16x - 9x - 6 - (4x² + 16x + 7x + 28) = 10x² - 2x + 5x - 1 - 33
<=> 24x² + 16x - 9x - 6 - 4x² - 16x - 7x - 28 - 10x² + 2x - 5x + 1 + 33 = 0
<=> 10x² - 19x = 0
<=> x(10x - 19) = 0
<=> x = 0 hay      10x - 19 = 0
                  I <=> 10x       = 19
                  I <=>    x       = 19/10
