Which is a factor of x2 + 8x – 48?

(x – 6)
(x + 4)
(x – 16)
(x + 12)

Option D is correct

The factor of the equation is (x+12)

Explanation:

Given the equation:

In Algebra, factors are that we can multiply together to get an expression.

Use a factoring strategies to factor the given equation:

or

x(x+12) - 4(x+12) = 0

Taking x+12 as common factor; then

(x+12)(x-4) = 0

x+12  and x -4 both are  the factor of the equation .

Therefore, the only factor from the the given option is correct for the equation is (x+12)

6/20
