Factor completely:3x^2 – 30x + 48?

3x^2 - 30x + 48
3(x^2 - 10x + 16)
3(x - 8)(x - 2)

(3x-24)(x-2)

3x^2 – 30x + 48

3(x^2 --10x + 16)

3(x - 8)(x - 2)
.

3(x^2-10x+16)
3(x-2)(x-8)

3 ( x ² - 10 x + 16 )
3 ( x - 8 ) ( x - 2 )

3x^2-30x+48=
(3x-6)(x-8)=
3(x-2)(x-8)

Think about numbers that could result to 48 when multiplied - 6 and 8 are the best choice..

3x^2 - 30x + 48 = (3x - 6)(x-8)

Final answer: 3(x-2)(x-8)

3x^2 - 30x + 48
= 3(x^2 - 10x + 16)
= 3(x^2 - 2x - 8x + 16)
= 3[(x^2 - 2x) - (8x - 16)]
= 3[x(x - 2) - 8(x - 2)]
= 3(x - 2)(x - 8)

(3x - 6) (x - 8)
