(x-6)²=(15-x)² equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation:
(x-6)^2 = (15-x)^2
Expand expressions:
36 + x^2 - 12*x = (15-x)^2
(x-6)^2 = 225 + x^2 - 30*x
Reducing, you get:
-189 + 18*x = 0
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$18 x = 189$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 18
x = 189 / (18)
We get the answer: x = 21/2
