Question

What is the solution set of 6x^2 - 24 = 0?.

A.) {-2, 2}
B.) {-2}
C.) {2}

Answer 1

We are given with the expression 6x^2 - 24 = 0. We are asked in the problem for its solution set. The first step to take is to factor out 6 in the equation resulting to x^2 - 4 = 0. This is a special type of equation where after factoring the equation becomes (x-2)*(x+2) = 0. Hence the solution set is A. {-2,2}
