Question

Factor completely
-2x² + 20x– 48 =

Answer 1

x = 6 or x = 4

Explanation:

-2x² + 20x - 48 = 0

2x² - 20x + 48 = 0

2x² - 12x - 8x + 48 = 0

2x(x - 6) - 8(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6) (2x - 8) = 0

x - 6 = 0 or 2x - 8 = 0

x = 6 or x = 8/2

x = 6 or x = 4

Answer 2

2(-x+4)(x-6)

Explanation:

Factor −2x2+20x−48

−2x2+20x−48

=2(−x+4)(x−6)
