\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { \: (x + 6)(x - 8)}}}}}}


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}


{x}^(2) - 2x - 48


= {x}^(2) - 8x + 6x - 48

Taking
x as common from first two terms and 6 from last two terms, we have


=x \: ( \: x - 8 \: ) + 6 \: ( \: x - 8 \: )

Taking the factor
(x-8) as common,


= (x + 6)(x - 8)


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Mystique35 }}{\orange{❦}}}}}
