What is the solution of the equation x2 - 11x - 48 = 0?

8
-8
6
-6

The correct answer is: -8

The solutions of a quadratic equation are found by factoring or using the quadratic formula. For this equation, factoring the expression results in (x-8)(x+6)=0. This means that the solutions are x=8 and x=-6. While 6 and -6 are options, they do not satisfy the given equation. Similarly, 8 and -8 are not solutions as they do not make the equation equal to 0. Therefore, the only correct solution to this equation is -8.
