Question

Factor the expression below.

Answer 1

Answer:

(x + 8) (x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise the expression follow the steps:

Think the factorising means you want like:-

  ( x + _ ) ( x + _ )

Now, add the numbers to get 0 & multiple together to get -64

 -64 = 8 x -8

 8 + -8 = 0

Now fill the numbers in the factorising mean which will give you,

( x + _ ) ( x + _ ) --> ( x + 8 ) ( x - 8 )

Therefore, the answer will be: ( x + 8 ) ( x - 8 )

I hope this will help you :)
