Answer:
a) 2x² - x + 3 = x(2x + 1) - 2x
<=> 2x² - x + 3 = 2x² + x - 2x
<=> 3 - x = - x
<=> 3 = 0
=> no solution
b) x/2 - x/3 - x/4 = 1/12
=> the euqation has the solution x = 1
c) |x - 5| = 2|x|
=> x - 5 = 2x
or x - 5 = -2x
<=> x = -5
or 3x = 5
<=> x = -5
x = -5or x = 5/3
d) defined conditions: 2 - x 》 0
<=> x 《 2
we have:
<=> x = 0 (because x 《 2)
e)
<=> x = -1/4
