What is the larger of the 2 solutions of the equation x^2-4 x=96 ?

Question

GMAT Panda · Accepted Answer

12 We start by rewriting the given equation in the standard quadratic form x^2 - 4x - 96 = 0 We then factor the quadratic expression into two binomials (x - 12)(x + 8) = 0 We set each factor equal to zero to find the two solutions x = 12 or x = -8

$We start by rewriting the given equation in the standard quadratic form$	$x^{2} - 4 x - 96 = 0$
$We then factor the quadratic expression into two binomials$	$(x - 12) (x + 8) = 0$
$We set each factor equal to zero to find the two solutions$	$x = 12 or x = - 8$
