-2(3x - 4) + 2x = 6x(1 - x) - 6
Using the distributive property:
-6x + 8 + 2x = 6x - 6x2 - 6
Simplifying:
-4x + 8 = 6x - 6x2 - 6
Getting all the terms to one side:
0 = - 6x2 + 10x - 14
To make the problem easier to solve, divide every term by -2:
0 = 3x2 - 5x + 7
Use the quadratic formula with a = 3, b = -5, and c = 7:
x = [ 5 ± √( (-5)2 - 4(3)(7) ) ] / [ 2(3) ]
x = [ 5 ± √( 25 - 84 ] / [ 6 ]
x = [ 5 ± √( -59 ) ] / [ 6 ]
