Start with the given equation.
Plug in
Expand.
or Set each factor equal to zero.
Let's solve the first equation
Start with the given equation.
Factor the left side.
or Set each factor equal to zero.
or Solve for x.
-------------------------
If we solve the second equation , we will get the same answers or . So that means that both solutions occur twice. So the solutions are
(with multiplicity of 2) or (with multiplicity of 2)
