Answer:

C

Explanation:

To solve this equation we need to first get the standard form of a quadratic equation by bringing every term to one side of the equal to .

so


4x^(2) +2x^(2) -3x+2x-16+4=0

combining the like terms in the equation we get


6x^(2) -x-12=0

you can use the factoring to simplify it

so the given equation can be written as


6x^(2) -9x+8x-12=0

using the grouping to factor we get

3x(2x-3) +4(2x-3)=0

(3x+4)(2x-3)=0

using the zero root property now

3x+4=0

2x-3 =0

so that gives us two values


x=(-4)/(3)

and


x=(3)/(2)

option : C
