This is just one of the many ways to approach this question.

For such questions, two methods are regularly used. One is the comparing of relevant terms of x in the same power. The other is to substitute a specific value of x to the entire equation. You can use a single technique or a mix of both techniques or even use any other logical technique to obtain the values of the unknowns.
