Question

Factorize each of the following algebraic expressions.
First answer with explanation will be marked as brainliest answer.
​

Answer 1

$96 - 4x - {x}^{2} = - {x}^{2} - 4x + 96 \\ = - {x}^{2} - 12x + 8x + 96 \\ = - x(x + 12) + 8(x + 12) \\ = ( x + 12)( - x + 8).$

You have to find the factors of the last term such that its sum or difference is the middle term.

12*8 =96
12-8=4

This is your answer. If you simplify it, you will get the given equation.
