2-3x+x^{2}=\left(x+3\right)\left(x-4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 1-x by 2-x and combine like terms.
2-3x+x^{2}=x^{2}-x-12
Use the distributive property to multiply x+3 by x-4 and combine like terms.
2-3x+x^{2}-x^{2}=-x-12
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
2-3x=-x-12
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
2-3x+x=-12
Add x to both sides.
2-2x=-12
Combine -3x and x to get -2x.
-2x=-12-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-2x=-14
Subtract 2 from -12 to get -14.
x=\frac{-14}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=7
Divide -14 by -2 to get 7.
