I can’t be sure how the expression is meant to be written — the text "4xx−3=2+12x−3" is ambiguous. Could you confirm the intended equation, for example by adding parentheses or using ^ for exponents? Possible interpretations and their solutions:
- If it was 4x(x−3) = 2 + 12x − 3 (i.e. 4x^2 − 12x = 12x − 1), then 4x^2 − 24x + 1 = 0 and x = (24 ± 4√35)/8 = (6 ± √35)/2 (not one of the given choices).
- If it was 4x·x − 3 = 2 + 12x − 3 (i.e. 4x^2 − 3 = 12x − 1), then 4x^2 − 12x − 2 = 0 and x = (3 ± √11)/2 (also not a given choice).
- If it was 4^(x−3) = 2^(12x−3), then 2(x−3) = 12x−3 giving x = −3/10 (again not in the choices).
None of these natural readings gives 72, 2, 92, or "no solutions." Please repost the equation with explicit parentheses or ^ for exponents (for example "4x(x-3)=..." or "4^(x-3)=...") and I'll solve it.
