Answer:

x = 12, x = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 8x - 48 = 0.

This factors to (x - 12)(x + 4) = 0.

Proof:

(x - 12)(x + 4) = 0

first: x * x

outer: 4 * x

inner: -12 * x

last: -48.

first: x²

outer: 4x

inner: -12x

last: -48

x² + 4x - 12x - 48

x² - 8x - 48.

To find the zeros, take the individual pairs and find the values that make the equation 0.

x - 12 = 0

Add 12 to both sides.

x = 12.

x + 4 = 0

Subtract 4 from both sides.

x = -4.

Answer:

x= 4 + 2√5, x = 4 - 2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is quadratics so you can solve it by completing the square and using the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac)) / (2a).
