Select the correct answer. Which expression in factored form is equivalent to this expression?

4(x2 – 2x) – 2(x2 – 3)

A. (2x − 3)(x + 1)

B. 2(x + 1)(x + 3)

C. (2x + 3)(x + 1)

D. 2(x - 1)(x – 3)

Took the test. This is the answer.

D. 2(x - 1)(x – 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x2 – 2x) – 2(x2 – 3)

We would first of all expand the expression given

This becomes

= 4x2 - 8x - 2x2 + 6

Rearrange to enable us simplify

4x2 - 2x2 - 8x + 6

= 2x2 - 8x + 6

Factorize

2 (x2 - 4x + 3)

factorizing further using the factors of 3 that add up to -4

2(x2 - x - 3x + 3)

pick out the common factors

2(x(x-1) -3(x-1)

2(x-1)(x-3)

Option D. 2(x - 1)(x – 3) is right

false
