solving a quadratic equation
which statement is true about the equation (x - 4)(x + 2) = 16?
the equation x-4 = 16 can be used to solve for a solution of the given equation
the standard form of the equation is x2 - 2x - 8 = 0.
the factored form of the equation is (x + 4)(x - 6) = 0.
one solution of the equation is x = -6.

The factored form of the equation is (x+4)(x-6)=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because (x-4)(x+2)=x^2-4x+2x-8=16,

so that means x^2-2x-8=16,

move 16 to the other side,

you get x^2-2x-8-16=0,

simplify,

you get x^2-2x-24=0,

which satisfies (x+4)(x-6)=0 when factored out.

Because (x+4)(x-6)=x^2+4x-6x-24=x^2-2x-24=0.

C. The factored form of the equation is (x + 4)(x – 6) = 0.
