To solve the quadratic equation
by factoring, we need to find two numbers that multiply to \(3 \times (-8) = -24\) and add up to
.The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are
and
, because:
Next, we rewrite the middle term
using these two numbers:
Now, we factor by grouping:
We can factor out the common binomial factor \((t - 4)\):
Setting each factor equal to zero gives us the solutions:
Solving these equations, we get:
Therefore, the solutions to the equation
are:
So, the answers are:
