Solving for x

   |Multiplying thru x

  x^2 + x = 2

   x^2 + x -2 = 0   |Setting Polynomial to zero     

factoring

 (x+2)(x-1)= 0  Note:SUM of the inner product(2x) and the outer product(-x) =x   

   (x+2)=0   x = -2

   (x-1)= 0  x = 1   



CHECKING our Answer(s)***

  -1 = 2/-2 = -1

  2 = 2/1 = 2
