Answer 2

Answer:

2(x + 4)(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + 2x - 24 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(x² + x - 12)

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 12) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 1)

The factors are + 4 and - 3, since

4 × - 3 = - 12 and 4 - 3 = + 1, thus

x² + x - 12 = (x + 4)(x - 3) and

2x² + 2x - 24 = 2(x + 4)(x - 3)
