Question

Factorise 2x^2-22x-24​

Answer 1

Answer:
`\boxed{2(x^2-11x-12)}`

Explanation:

`\textbf{Factorize $2x^2-22x-24$}`

We can find a common factor of
`2x^2, 22x,` and
`24` first.

Our factor cannot be
`x`, because it is not a factor of
`24`.

Therefore, our factor must be an integer, and we can see that it will be 2.

We now divide each term by 2 to get this:

`\boxed{2(x^2-11x-12)}`.
