Explanation:

Answer 2

8x² - 24 can be written in factorized form as 8 (x² - 3).

Explanation:

Given expression is

8x² - 24

It can be factorized by taking the common factors as,

Since 8 is the common factor for both the terms and the expression can be written as,

8x² - 24

It can be expanded as,

= 8x² - 8×3

Now both the terms has 8, so it can be taken out and the expression can be written as,

= 8 (x² - 3)

So it can be written in factorized form as 8 (x² - 3).
