SOLUTION: I am working with my school website on My Math Lab and this is a question asked. I need to solve for x. 4x(x-2)-5x(x-1)=2 I have already taken the steps to make the problem 4x^

4x(x-2)-5x(x-1)=2
4X^2-8X-5X^2+5X-2=0
-X^2-3X-2=0
X^2+3X+2=0
(X+2)(X+1)=0
X+2=0
X=-2 ANS.
X+1=0
X=-1 ANS.
PROOFS:
4*-2(-2-2)-5*-2(-2-1)=2
-8*-4+10*-3=2
32-30=2
2=2
4*-1(-1-2)-5*-1(-1-1)=2
-4*-3+5*-2=2
12-10=2
2=2

Congratulation for trying, Rachel!
Solve for x:
First, apply the distributive to both sets of parentheses.
Now combine like-terms.

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
Multiply through by -1 to make the terms positive and a little easier to work with. This will not change the result any.
Now factor the trinomial.
Apply the zero product rule: If A*B = 0, then either A = 0 or B = 0 or both, so...
or which means that...

You can verify the solution by substituting the values into original equation.
