Question 10 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

What is a solution to (x + 6)(x + 2) = 60?

Answer
A
x = −6
B
x = −4
C
x = 4
D
x = 12

Explanation

Expand the left side: (x + 6)(x + 2) = x² + 8x + 12. Setting it equal to 60 gives x² + 8x − 48 = 0, which factors as (x + 12)(x − 4) = 0. Thus x is −12 or 4; among the choices, x = 4 is listed, so the correct choice is C.
