Step-by-step explanation:
It is helpful to understand that the product of the binomial factors is ...
(ax +b)(cx +d) = ac·x² +(ad+bc)x +bd
For these problems you only need to look at the constant and the leading coefficient to find the missing values.

1. d = 8/-4 = -2
2. b = -24/(3·2·d) = -4; c = 3/(3·a) = 1
3. a = 2/c = 1; d = -24/b = 6
4 (x - b) = x Use the DIstributive Property [(4(x) - 4(b)]
4 x - 4b = x Add 4b to both sides
4x = 4b + x Subtract x from both sides
3x = 4b Divide both sides by 3
x =
Should be B. I would get someone to double check me though!
