Let's simplify the given equation step by step:
7x^2 - 1 - (2x + 1)(3x - 2) = x^2
First, let's expand the expression within the parentheses:
7x^2 - 1 - (6x^2 - 4x + 3x - 2) = x^2
Simplify further:
7x^2 - 1 - (6x^2 - x - 2) = x^2
Distribute the negative sign inside the parentheses:
7x^2 - 1 - 6x^2 + x + 2 = x^2
Combine like terms:
7x^2 - 1 - 6x^2 + x + 2 = x^2(7x^2 - 6x^2) + (x) + (-1 + 2) = x^2x^2 + x + 1 = x^2
At this point, we see that the equation doesn't simplify to x^2. It seems there might have been an error in calculation. Let's re-evaluate the steps.
