Which is a solution to the equation?

(x - 2) (x + 5) = 18

x = - 10

x = - 7

x = - 4

x = - 2

If you would like to know the solution to the equation (x - 2) * (x + 5) = 18, you can calculate this using the following steps:

(x - 2) * (x + 5) = 18

x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10 = 18

x^2 + 3x - 28 = 0

(x + 7) * (x - 4) = 0

1. x = - 7

2. x = 4

The correct result would be x = - 7.
