The expression is -x² + 2x + 48.

Factor out -1 to get:

-(x² - 2x - 48)

Find two integers such that the product is -48 and the sum is -2. They are -8 and 6. Then, we can rewrite the expression as:

-(x² - 8x + 6x - 48)

Factoring-by-grouping, we obtain:

-(x(x - 8) + 6(x - 8))

= -(x + 6)(x - 8) [Collect x and 6 and group x - 8.]

What is the factorization of the trinomial below. -x2 - 2x plus 48?

First, I'll multiply by -1, to make it a little easier to work with (then when done, I'll multiply by -1 again): x2 + 2x - 48. We want two numbers, when multiplied yield -48, and the sum is 2: -6 and 8. (x + 8)(x - 6) works. Now multiply one of the binomial factors by -1: (x + 8)(6 - x). Multiply using FOIL to check: -x2 - 2x + 48

5x plus 2x plus 6 equals 48?

5x + 2x + 6 = 48 7x + 6 = 48 ....Because you simplify 5x + 2x 7x = 42 ....Because you subtract 6 from both sides to help isolate x x = 6 ....Because you divide both sides by 7 to isolate the x.

52 equals 2x plus 6x-4?

52 = 2x + (6x +4) 52 = 2x + 6x + 4 (can skip this step) 52 = 8x + 4 52 - 4 = 8x 48 = 8x 48/8 = x (can skip this step) 6 = x
