Question

How do you factor this?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What two numbers multiply to equal -48, but add to equal -2? The method is multiplying a*c and seeing if they add up to b. Those two numbers are -8 and +6.

$6x^2-2x-8=6x^2-8x+6x-8$

Now, factor by grouping

$(6x^2-8x)+(6x-8)=2x(3x-4)+2(3x-4)\\(2x+2)(3x-4)$
