Answer
Substituting = a in above equation we get,
⇒ a2 - 7a + 12 = 0
⇒ a2 - 4a - 3a + 12 = 0
⇒ a(a - 4) - 3(a - 4) = 0
⇒ (a - 3)(a - 4) = 0
⇒ (a - 3) = 0 or (a - 4) = 0
⇒ a = 3 or a = 4.
Considering,
⇒ x = 3(x + 2)
⇒ x = 3x + 6
⇒ 3x - x = -6
⇒ 2x = -6
⇒ x = -3.
Considering,
⇒ x = 4(x + 2)
⇒ x = 4x + 8
⇒ 4x - x = -8
⇒ 3x = -8
⇒ x = -.
Hence, x = -3, -.
