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 ![]()
