What is factorization?

Factorization is when you break a number down into smaller numbers that, multiplied together, give you that original number. When you split a number into its factors or divisors, that's factorization.

Given equation

[tex]x^{2} +8x-30 = 18[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x^{2} +8x-30-18=0[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x^{2} +8x-48=0[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x^{2} +12x-4x-48=0[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x(x+12)-4(x+12)=0[/tex]

⇒ [tex](x+12)(x-4)=0[/tex]

x = -12 and x = 4

Hence, the greatest value of x  is 4.
