Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:


In factorization, we write the middle term of the quadratic equation either as a sum of two numbers or difference of two numbers such that the equation can be factorized.



7(x2 – 6x + 9 – (x2 + 9 + 6x)) = 48(x2 – 9)


-84x = 48x2 – 432


4x2 + 7x – 36 = 0


4x2 + 16x – 9x – 36 = 0


4x(x + 4) -9(x + 4) = 0


(4x – 9)(x + 4) = 0


x = 9/4, -4
