Mathematics

x=-2 OR x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

x^2 + 5x - 12 = 8x - 2

Taking the terms to left hand side to make a quadratic equation:

Subtracting 8x both side and adding '2' both side:

x^2 + 5x - 12 -8x + 2=0

Solving the like terms:

x^2-3x-10=0

Factorizing the equation:

x^2+2x-5x-10=0

Taking common from the equation:

$x(x+2)-5(x+2)=0\\\\(x+2)(x-5)=0$

$x+2=0\\\\x=-2$

$x-5=0\\\\x=5$
