2x^2 - 8x - 24
First, we can factor a 2 out of this expression to simplify it.
2(x^2 - 4x - 12)
Now, we can try factoring this two ways: by using the quadratic formula, or by using the AC method.
We're gonna try using the AC method first.
List factors of -12.
1 * -12
-1 * 12
2 * -6
-2 * 6 (these digits satisfy the criteria.)
Split the middle term.
2(x^2 - 2x + 6x - 12)
Factor by grouping.
2(x(x - 2) + 6(x - 2)
Rearrange terms.
<h3><u>(2)(x + 6)(x - 2) is the fully factored form of the given polynomial.</u></h3>

Answer:
a = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.4a + 3 = 7
subtract 3 from each side
-0.4a + 3-3 = 7-3
-.4a = 4
Divide each side by -.4
-.4a/ -.4 = 4/-.4
a = - 10
