Question
Solve the following equation and also check your result in case: $(3\text{x}-8)(3\text{x+2})-(4\text{x}-11)(2\text{x}+1)=(\text{x}-3)(\text{x}+7)$

Answer

$(3\text{x}-8)(3\text{x+2})-(4\text{x}-11)(2\text{x}+1)=(\text{x}-3)(\text{x}+7)$
$9\text{x}^2+6\text{x}-24\text{x}-16-8\text{x}^2-4\text{x}+22\text{x}+11$
$=\text{x}^2+7\text{x}-3\text{x}-21$
$\text{x}^2-5=\text{x}^2+4\text{x}-21$
$4\text{x}=-5+21$
$\text{x}=\frac{16}{4}=4$
Thus, $\text{x}=4$ is the solution of the given equation.
Check:Substituting $\text{x}=4$ in the given equation, we get:
$\text{L.H.S.}=(3\times4-8)(3\times4+2)-(4\times4-11)(2\times4+1)$
$=4\times14-5\times9=11$
$\text{R.H.S.}=(4-3)(4+7)=11$
$\therefore\text{L.H.S.}=\text{R.H.S.}\text{ for x}=4$

This graph shows a map of an island just off the coast of a continent. The point labelled $B$ represents a major city on the coast. The distance between grid lines represents $1\ km$.

 Point $A$ represents a resort that is located $5\ km$ East and $3\ km$ North of Point $B$. The values $5$ and $3$ are the coordinates of Point $A$. The coordinates can be given as the ordered pair $(5, 3)$, where $5$ is the horizontal coordinate and $3$ is the vertical coordinate.
$i.$ On a copy of the map, mark the point that is $3\ km$ East and $5\ km$ North of Point $B$ and label it $S$. Is Point $S$ in the water or on the island? Is Point $S$ in the same place as Point $A$?
$ii.$ Mark the point that is $7\ km$ east and $5\ km$ north of Point $B$ and label it $C$. Then mark the point that is $5\ km$ east and $7\ km$ north of Point $B$ and label it $D$. Are Points $C$ and $D$ in the same place? Give the coordinates of Points $C$ and $D$.
