Question

(x+3)(x+4)=(x+1)(x+2)

Answer 1

x=-5/2

First, to solve this I’m going to multiply (x+3)(x+4) and (x+1)(x+2).

You get x^2 + 7x + 12 = x^2 + 3x + 2

I want to get x on only one side so I subtract
x^2+3x+2

4x+10=0

I subtract 10 from both sides
4x=-10

Then divide each side by 4
x=-5/2

Answer 2

x = -5/2
