Factor the greatest common factor4x²-6x+12
1 answer:
Answer:
The solution to this equation could not be determined! (O>O)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4x2 + 6x + 12 = 0
Reorder the terms:
12 + 6x + 4x2 = 0
Solving
12 + 6x + 4x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(6 + 3x + 2x2) = 0
Ignore the factor 2, I think this is a 'trick' question !
