To solve by factoring, we need to find two numbers that multiply to -32 and add up to 4 (the coefficient of the g term). The two numbers are 8 and -4.
Therefore, we can factor the equation as:
(g + 8)(g - 4) = 0
Setting each factor to 0 and solving for g, we get:
g + 8 = 0 or g - 4 = 0
g = -8 or g = 4
So, g equals -8 or 4.
Solve by factoring.
g squared plus 4 g minus 32 equals 0
