Question

X^2=x+2
Please solve by factoring
But I’ll take anything honestly

Answer 1

Explanation:

`\sf x^2=x+2`

Subtract x+2 from both sides of the equation:

`\sf x^2-(x+2)=x+2-(x+2)`

`\sf x2-x-2=0`

Now, factor left side of equation:

`\sf (x+1)(x-2)=0`

Set the factors equal to zero:

`\sf x+1=0`
`\sf x-2=0`

`\boxed{\sf x=-1}`
`\boxed{\sf x=2}`
