Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Solved for non-linear equations \$7x^2 = 5x + 12\$.

2

Hint

Applying the factorization technique

\$7x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0\$

\$7x^2 - 12x + 7x - 12 = 0\$

\$x(7x - 12) + 1 (7x - 12) = 0\$

\$(7x - 12) (x + 1) = 0\$

3

Step

Finding x values

7x - 12 = 0 and x + 1 = 0

\$x = 12/7\$ and x = - 1

4

Step

Therefore, the solutions to the equation is \$7x^2 = 5x + 12\$ are \$x = 12/7\$ and x = - 1.

5

Choice.A

This option correctly includes both solutions we found: \$x = 12/7\$ and x = − 1. Therefore, Option A is correct

\$x = 12/7\$ and x = - 1

6

Choice.B

The answer is incorrect; It’s the inverse of the right answer with a negative sign

\$x = - 7/12\$ and x = - 1

7

Choice.C

The answer is wrong; The right one has a positive sign, while this choice has a negative sign

\$x = -12/7\$ and x = - 1

8

Choice.D

Option D’s inaccuracy lies in proposing \$x = 7/12\$ instead of the correct \$x = 12/7\$ as in option A

\$x = 7/12\$ and x = - 1

9

Answer

Option

A
