Question

factorization of 96 - 4 x minus x square​

Answer 1

Answer:

- (x + 12)(x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 96 - 4x - x²

Rearranging it, we get

→ - x² - 4x + 96

→ - [ x² + 4x - 96 ]

→ - [ x² + 12x - 8x - 96 ]

→ - [ x(x + 12) - 8(x + 12) ]

→ - [ (x + 12)(x - 8) ]

→ - (x + 12)(x - 8)

Answer 2

Answer:

96 - 4x - x^2 = 0

0 = x^2 + 4x - 96

x^2 + (12-8)x - 96=0

x^2 + 12x -8x - 96 =0

x(x+12) -8(x + 12) =0

(x-8)(x +12)=0

x = 8

x= -12
