Q4 of 83 Page 76

Solve the following equations using the method of factorization:

27x2 — 48 = 0

27 and 48 are divisible by 3 take factor 3 common


3 × (9x2 – 16) = 0


9x2 – 16 = 0


(3x)2 – 42 = 0


Using the identity (a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2


Where a = 3x and b = 4


(3x + 4)(3x – 4) = 0


3x + 4 = 0 or 3x – 4 = 0


3x = – 4 or 3x = 4


Therefore and
