Question

Which statement is true about the equation (x – 4)(x 2) = 16?

Answer 1

The roots of the given quadratic equation are 6 and -4.

The given quadratic equation is:

$(x-4)(x+2)=16$

What is a quadratic equation?

Any equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is called a quadratic equation where $a\neq 0$.

$x^{2} -2x-8=16$

$x^2-2x-24=0$

$x^{2} -6x+4x-24=0$

$x(x-6)+4(x-6)=0$

$(x-6)(x+4)=0$

$x=6$

$x=-4$

Hence, the roots of the given quadratic equation are 6 and -4.
