Question

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below?

Check all that apply.
x2 + 4x-9 = 5x + 3
A. -3
B. 5
| C. 2
D. -4
E. 4
F-7

Answer 1

The answers are options A and E

x² + 4x-9 = 5x + 3

Group like terms

x² + 4x - 5x - 9 - 3 = 0

x² - x - 12 = 0

Using factorization method

(x + 3)( x - 4) = 0

x = - 3 x = 4

Hope this helps
