Factor the trinomial, if possible.
-$- 24 x ^ { 2 } - 20 x + 24$
A) $( - 3 x + 2 ) ( 8 x + 12 )$
B) $4 ( 3 x + 2 ) ( - 2 x + 3 )$
C) $( - 12 x + 8 ) ( 2 x + 3 )$
D) $- 4 ( 3 x - 2 ) ( 2 x + 3 )$

First, factor out the greatest common factor, which is -4, to get $-4(6x^2 + 5x - 6)$. Then, factor the trinomial inside the parentheses to get $-4(3x - 2)(2x + 3)$.

Factor the Trinomial, If Possible −24x2−20x+24- 24 x ^ { 2 } - 20 x + 24−24x2−20x+24

Factor the Trinomial, If Possible $- 24 x ^ { 2 } - 20 x + 24$
