You must factor.

The factored form is equal to the assigned form.

Values a, b correspond to the factored 1, -1.
Value of x however remains unknown. But we can change that.
Given factored result,

We can set expression equal to 0 then find such x that when added with number a or b results with 0.

Hence x has 2 solutions.

Hope this helps.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+16-4x=10x+4
-2x+16=10x+4
16-4=10x+2x
12=12x
1=x
Answer:
neither can be a factor
Step-by-step explanation:
If (x -a) is a factor, then value of the function will be zero at x=a. Here, the function has a value of zero (x-intercept) at x = -1 and x = 3. Hence (x+1) and (x-3) are factors, but (x+2) and (x+4) are not. The function is non-zero at x=-2 and x=-4.
