(x−1)2−(x+2)2=15
Let's solve the equation, first we'll simplify the algebraic expressions using the perfect square binomial formula:
We'll apply the mentioned formula and expand the parentheses in the expressions in the equation:
In the final stage, we used the distributive property to expand the parentheses,
We'll continue and combine like terms, by moving terms between sides, later - we can notice that the squared term cancels out and therefore it's a first-degree equation, which we'll solve by isolating the variable term on one side and dividing both sides of the equation by its coefficient:
Therefore, the correct answer is answer B.
