Answer:
1.5 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-6) (x-1) = x(x-3)
FOIL the left side
(x-6) (x-1)
x^2 -x-6x+6 = x^2 -7x+6
Distribute the right side
x(x-3) = x^2 -3x
(x-6) (x-1) = x(x-3)
x^2 -7x+6= x^2 -3x
Subtract x^2 from each side
x^2-x^2 -7x+6= x^2-x^2 -3x
-7x+6= -3x
Add 7x to each side
-7x+7x +6 = -3x+7x
6 = 4x
Divide by 4
6/4= 4x/4
3/2 =x
1.5 =x
