Answer:

Explanation:


(2x - 3)^(2) = 4x - 6

Using FOIL, we can expand the polynomial on the left-hand side of the equation:


4x^(2) - 12x + 9 = 4x - 6

Next, let's move all of the terms to the left-hand side of the equation and combine like terms:


4x^(2) - 12x - 4x + 9 + 6 = 0


4x^(2) - 16x + 15 = 0

Now we can factor the quadratic:


(2x - 5)(2x - 3) = 0

This produces two equations to give us the two solutions:

The first solution:


2x - 5 = 0


2x = 5


x = (5)/(2)

and the second solution:


2x - 3 = 0


2x = 3


x = (3)/(2)

So the solutions to this problem are
x = (3)/(2), (5)/(2)
