Correct option is B
Given:2x−1=2+x−4Solution:Square both sides:(2x−1)2=(2+x−4)22x−1=4+4x−4+(x−4)2x−1=x+4+4x−4x−1=4x−4Square both sides again:(x−1)2=(4x−4)2(x−1)2=16(x−4)x2−2x+1=16x−64x2−18x+65=0Using the quadratic formula:x=2(1)18±182−4(1)(65)x=218±64x=218±8The possible solutions are:x=218+8=13x=218−8=5
therefore, x = 13, 5
