Answer: C x = -2

Explanation:


3x^(2) - 30x - 72 = 0

[Add 72 on both sides]


3x^(2) - 30x = 72

[Factorise Left Hand Side of equation to get 3 on one side of a bracket]


3(x^(2) -10x) = 72

[Divide each side by 3 to just get the brackets and the x's on one side]


x^(2) -10x = 24

[Minus 24 on both side as the equation must = 0]


x^(2) -10x-24=0

[Solve the square on the left hand side]


(x-12)(x+2)=0

[Solve for x on left hand side - two possible answers]


x-12=0 \\ x=12


x+2=0\\x=-2

[The answer '12' is not in the option for the question so '-2' is the answer]
