SOLUTION: The problem is: Solve the equation for x .....
(x-4)^2=2x^2-3x+20
I've tried to solve it but get stuck towards the end. The last answer i get to is... x^2-11x+36 but i can't fi

Question 386313: The problem is: Solve the equation for x .....
(x-4)^2=2x^2-3x+20
I've tried to solve it but get stuck towards the end. The last answer i get to is... x^2-11x+36 but i can't find numbers to factor it. I'm not sure if i have done it right to that point
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve the equation for x .....
(x-4)^2=2x^2-3x+20
---
x^2-8x+16 = 2x^2-3x+20
---
x^2+5x+4 = 0
---
Factor:
(x+4)(x+1) = 0
x = -4 or x = -1
