Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given (x - m) is a factor of both then x = m make both expressions equal to zero.
m² - am + b = 0
m² - cm + d = 0
Then
m² - am + b = m² - cm + d ( subtract m² - cm from both sides )
cm - am + b = d ( subtract b from both sides )
cm - am = d - b ← factor out m from each term on the left side
m(c - a) = d - b ← divide both sides by (c - a)
m = [tex]\frac{d-b}{c-a}[/tex] ← as required
