Solution for (x-1)(x-2)=5(x-1) equation:


Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + -2) = 5(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + -2) = 5(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(-2 + x) = 5(x + -1)

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-2 + x)
(-1(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 5(x + -1)
((-2 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-2 + x)) = 5(x + -1)
((2 + -1x) + x(-2 + x)) = 5(x + -1)
(2 + -1x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 5(x + -1)
(2 + -1x + (-2x + x2)) = 5(x + -1)

Combine like terms: -1x + -2x = -3x
(2 + -3x + x2) = 5(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
2 + -3x + x2 = 5(-1 + x)
2 + -3x + x2 = (-1 * 5 + x * 5)
2 + -3x + x2 = (-5 + 5x)

Solving
2 + -3x + x2 = -5 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
2 + 5 + -3x + -5x + x2 = -5 + 5x + 5 + -5x

Combine like terms: 2 + 5 = 7
7 + -3x + -5x + x2 = -5 + 5x + 5 + -5x

Combine like terms: -3x + -5x = -8x
7 + -8x + x2 = -5 + 5x + 5 + -5x

Reorder the terms:
7 + -8x + x2 = -5 + 5 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
7 + -8x + x2 = 0 + 5x + -5x
7 + -8x + x2 = 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
7 + -8x + x2 = 0

Factor a trinomial.
(1 + -1x)(7 + -1x) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(1 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + -1x = 0 Solving 1 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -1x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -1 -1x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 -1x = -1 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 1 Simplifying x = 1

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(7 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 7 + -1x = 0 Solving 7 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-7' to each side of the equation. 7 + -7 + -1x = 0 + -7 Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -7 -1x = 0 + -7 Combine like terms: 0 + -7 = -7 -1x = -7 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 7 Simplifying x = 7

Solution

x = {1, 7}
