Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:

In factorization, we write the middle term of the quadratic equation either as a sum of two numbers or difference of two numbers such that the equation can be factorized.



(3x – 3 + 4x + 4)(4x – 1) = 29(x2 – 1)


(7x + 1)(4x – 1) = 29x2 – 29


28x2 – 3x – 1 = 29x2 – 29


x2 + 3x – 28 = 0


x2 + 7x – 4x – 28 = 0


x(x + 7) – 4(x + 7) = 0


(x – 4)(x + 7) = 0


x = 4, - 7
