a) $$x^2 - 5 = (x + 5)(2x - 1)$$
$$x^2 - 5 = 2x^2 - x + 10x - 5$$
$$x^2 - 5 = 2x^2 + 9x - 5$$
$$x^2 - 2x^2 - 9x - 5 + 5 = 0$$
$$-x^2 - 9x = 0$$
$$-x(x + 9) = 0$$
$$x_1 = 0, x_2 = -9$$
Ответ: x₁ = 0, x₂ = -9
б) $$2x - (x + 1)^2 = 3x^2 - 6$$
$$2x - (x^2 + 2x + 1) = 3x^2 - 6$$
$$2x - x^2 - 2x - 1 = 3x^2 - 6$$
$$-x^2 - 1 = 3x^2 - 6$$
$$-x^2 - 3x^2 - 1 + 6 = 0$$
$$-4x^2 + 5 = 0$$
$$-4x^2 = -5$$
$$x^2 = \frac{5}{4}$$
$$x_1 = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}, x_2 = -\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$$
Ответ: $$x_1 = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}, x_2 = -\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$$
