(3x-2)(4x+3)-(x+3)(2x-5)=(2x+1)(5x-2)
Can someone help me, it's says in the back of my book that this wll be x=11, but I can't get it right
(3x-2)(4x+3)-(x+3)(2x-5)=(2x+1)(5x-2)

(3x-2)(4x+3) - (x+3)(2x-5) =(2x+1)(5x-2) \quad | \quad +(x+3)(2x-5)\\

General rules:
I: Left, outer, inner, right: (a + b)(c+ d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
II: a - b = -(b - a)
III: -(-w) = w
(3x - 2)(4x + 3) - (x + 3)(2x - 5) = (2x + 1)(5x - 2) Use I:
12x2 + 9x - 8x - 6 - (2x2 - 5x +6x -15) = 10x2 - 4x + 5x - 2 Use III, add/subtract some x'es and numbers:
12x2 + x - 6 - 2x2 + 5x - 6x + 15 = 10x2 + x - 2 Add/subtract some x'es and numbers:
..... ...... ..... ..... Add 2 to both sides:
..... ......
Can you take over from here?
BTW: It is very common to make mistakes based on a plus that should have been a minus or vica versa, especially when you have a minus before a paranthesis. When you have an expression like this, I'll highly recommend solving it this way:
-(x + 3)(2x - 5) =
-(2x2 - 5x +6x -15) =
- 2x2 + 5x - 6x + 15 = ...
And NOT this way:
-(x + 3)(2x - 5) =
- 2x2 + 5x - 6x + 15 = ...
Both methods are mathematically correct, but the latter one makes it 1000 times more easy to make a mistake based on a wrong plus/minus.
