I don't think so.
Look at how you solved b). What relationship between the coefficients did the method depend upon? E.g. suppose the constant term had been something other than -2. Would that have radically changed the method of solution? What about the other two?
When you've determined what the relationship is, you need to scale x to make the more general equation satisfy that relationship.
