Question

Solve
x2 - 8x + 14 = 6 - 2x
x =
or x =

Answer 1

Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
x
=
4
,
2

Answer 2

x = 4 and x = 2

Explanation:

If this is the equation you're looking for: x^2 - 8x + 14 = 6 - 2x then here:

x^2 - 8x + 14 = 6 - 2x

x^2 +14 = 6 +6x

x^2 +8 = 6x

x^2 = 6x - 8

√x^2 = √6x - 8

x = 4 and x = 2
