Answer:
x = -1 , 2 , -2 , 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume x² - x = k
Then our equation becomes
k² - 8 k + 12 = 0
on factorising it
k² - 6k - 2k + 12 = 0
k(k -6) -2 (k-6) = 0
(k-2)(k-6) = 0
So , from here k = 2 , 6
where k = x² - x
so, x² - x = 2 ---------------------> (i)
and x² - x = 6 --------------------> (ii)
solving equation (i)
x² - x - 2 = 0
x² - 2x + x - 2 = 0
x(x-2) + 1(x-2) = 0
(x+1) (x-2) = 0 ---------------------> (iii)
solving equation (ii)
x² - x - 6 = 0
x² - 3x + 2x - 6 = 0
x (x-3) + 2 (x-3) = 0
(x+2)(x-3) = 0 ---------------------> (iv)
From equations (iii) and (iv) , we get
x = -1 , x = 2
and x = -2 , x = 3
This is your solution.
