Question

Solvex2 - 8x + 12 =0 for x.
The solutions for x are
and

Answer 1

2 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First factor x from the expression

x^2-2x-6x+12=0

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

Then factor out x-2 from the expression

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

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

When the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0

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

x-2=0

x-6-0

And so

X=2

X=6
