Answer:

2 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x² - 8x = -12

Step 1

We find x by solving

x² - 8x = -12

We equate to zero

x² - 8x + 12 = 0

We factorise

x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0

x - 6 = 0, x = 6

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

x = 6 or 2

Step 2

What is x - 4?

When x = 6

= 6 - 4 = 2

When x = 2

= 2 - 4 = -2

Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2

There are two consecutive even numbers such
Bond [772]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

2 consecutive even nos.

therefore y = x+2

twice of the first (2x) is 46 more than y

2x = y+46

Solving both the equations

x - y + 2 = 0

(-)2x - y - 46 = 0

____________

-x + 0 + 48 = 0

____________

x = 48

y = x+2

= 48 +2

= 50

Therefore the 2 nos. are 48 and 50

Hope this answers helps you
