x2−8x+15x2−9x+18=x−5x−6
False
We can write x2−8x+15x2−9x+18 as (x−3)(x−5)(x−3)(x−6). We did this because from the R.H.S of the give equation, we can say
we have to simplify/factorize the terms.
Can we write (x−3)(x−5)(x−3)(x−6)asx−5x−6?
To do that, we want x−3≠0 or x≠3 we can write the given expression as x−5x−6 if x≠3.
But we are not given this in the question. The given statement is not true when x = 3. So we say the statement is wrong,
because we want it to be true for all the values of x.
