Because Step 1. Move all terms to one side.

{x}^{2}-2x-8=0

x

2

−2x−8=0

2 Factor {x}^{2}-2x-8x

2

−2x−8.

1 Ask: Which two numbers add up to -2−2 and multiply to -8−8?

-4−4 and 22

Step 2. Rewrite the expression using the above.

(x-4)(x+2)

(x−4)(x+2)

and going to;

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

(x−4)(x+2)=0

And Step 3. Solve for xx.

1 Ask: When will (x-4)(x+2)(x−4)(x+2) equal zero?

When x-4=0x−4=0 or x+2=0x+2=0

2 Solve each of the 2 equations above.

x=4,-2

x=4,−2

x=4,-2

Our Answer is:

x=4,−2
