2 (x - 2) (2x + 3) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4x² - 12 = 2x (subtract 2x from both sides)
4x² - 2x - 12 = 0 ← factor out 2 from each term
2 (2x² - x - 6) = 0
To factor the quadratic
consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x - term
product = 2 * - 6 = - 12 and sum = - 1
The factors are - 4 and + 3
Use these factors to split the x - term
2x² - 4x + 3x - 6 (factor the first/second and third/fourth terms)
2x (x - 2) + 3 (x - 2) ← factor out (x - 2) from each term
(x - 2) (2x + 3), thus
2x² - x - 6 = (x - 2) (2x + 3) and
4x² - 2x - 12 = 0
2 (x - 2) (2x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form
