Answer: x = 1 or x = 2
Sub in x for ?:
x^2-3x = -2 (Move all the terms to one side, and set the equation to equal 0)
x^2-3x+2 = 0 (Factor the simple trinomial by finding two numbers that multiply to 2 and add to -3)
x^2-x-2x+2 = 0 (Factor the expression)
x(x-1)-2(x-1) = 0 (Group like terms)
(x-1)(x-2) = 0 (Solve for x by setting each term equal to 0)
x-1 = 0
x = 1
x-2 = 0
x = 2
∴ x = 1 or x = 2.
