Factor this polynomial completely. x^2-8x+12

(x - 2) (x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

x^2 - 8 x + 12

The factors of 12 that sum to -8 are -2 and -6. So, x^2 - 8 x + 12 = (x - 2) (x - 6):

 (x - 2) (x - 6)

(x - 6)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make 8 by adding -6 with -2 and get +12 by multiplying -6 and -2

Based on the given condition Diego utilized, it can be said that he used multiplication property when he multiplied both sides of the equation by 6 and then substitution property when he substituted 6 to the original equation.
(c) Multiplication property of equality and substitution property of equality
