Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
(x -4)² - (x - 4)(x +3) = 35
x² - 8x + 16 - [ x(x +3) - 4(X +3)] = 35
x² - 8x + 16 - [x² + 3x - 4x - 12 ] = 35
x² - 8x +16 - [ x² -x - 12] = 35
x² - 8x + 16 -x² + x + 12 = 35
x² - x² - 8x + x + 16 + 12 = 35 {Combine like terms}
-7x + 28 = 35
-7x = 35 -28
-7x = 7
x = 7/-7
x = -1
