Find values of xx such that (x+7)(x5)=13(x+7)(x-5)=13. The solution set is x=2,x=12x=2, x=-12.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given equations are y1=(x+7)y_{1}=(x+7), y=(x5)y_{}=(x-5), and y1y=13y_{1} y_{}=13. . We are asked to find all values of xx that satisfy these conditions.

STEP 2

From the given conditions, we know that y1y2=13y_{1} y_{2}=13. We can substitute y1=(x+7)y_{1}=(x+7) and y2=(x5)y_{2}=(x-5) into this equation.
y1y2=(x+7)(x5)y_{1} y_{2} = (x+7)(x-5)

STEP 3

Now, we set the equation equal to13.
(x+7)(x5)=13(x+7)(x-5) =13

STEP 4

Next, we expand the left side of the equation.
x2+2x35=13x^2 +2x -35 =13

STEP 5

Subtract13 from both sides of the equation to set it equal to zero.
x2+2x48=0x^2 +2x -48 =0

STEP 6

Now, we factor the quadratic equation.
(x6)(x+8)=0(x -6)(x +8) =0

STEP 7

Setting each factor equal to zero gives the solutions for xx.
x6=0orx+=0x -6 =0 \quad \text{or} \quad x + =0

STEP 8

olving each equation gives the solutions for xx.
x=6orx=8x =6 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -8The solution set is {6,8}\{6, -8\}.
