Factor the polynomial completely using the X method.

x2 + 16x + 48
An x-method chart shows the product a c at the top of x and b at the bottom of x. Above the chart is the expression x squared + 16 x + 48.
Which equivalent four-term polynomial can be created using the X method?

x2 + 8x + 8x + 48
x2 – 12x – 4x + 48
x2 + 12x + 4x + 48
x2 – 8x – 8x + 48
