Please help me on these 2 questions

Answer 1

1. x2-2x-24=0

break middle term

= x2-6x+4x-24=0

factorise:

x(x-6)+4(x-6)=0

=(x+4)(x-6)=0

x+4=0

x= -4

x-6=0

x= 6

2. x2-11x+18=0

break middle term

x2-9x-2x+18=0

Factorise

x(x-9)-2(x-9)=0

(x-2)(x-9)=0

x-2=0

x=2

x-9=0

x=9

Ask me if u don't know how to break middle term
