First, simplify the equation by doing common factor. So
the equation becomes 2(x^2 - 4x - 96) = 0.
To get the
solutions of the equation, we just have to factor (x^2 - 4x - 96) =
0,
(x - 12)(x + 8) =
0
Equating the two factors to
0,
x - 12 = 0, x = 12
x + 8 =
0, x = -8
Be sure to check the solutions by substituting -8
& 12 to the original equation.
