Answer:
The solutions of the equation are:
4/3 and 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:
To get the solution of the equation, we can either solve it algebraically or graphically.

1- algebraic solution:
The general form of the quadratic equation is:
ax² + bx + c = 0
The given equation is:
24x² - 47x + 20 = 0
By comparison, we can find that:
a = 24
b = -47
c = 20

Now, to get the roots, we will use the quadratic equation shown in the attached image.

Substituting in the equation, we would find that:
either x =
(-(-47) + √((-47)^2-4(24)(20)) )/(2(24)) = (4)/(3)
or x =
(-(-47) - √((-47)^2-4(24)(20)) )/(2(24)) = (5)/(8)

2- graphical solution:
To get the solution means to get the values of the x-intercepts.
Graphing the function (see attached image), we would find that the solutions are:
0.625 which is equivalent to 5/8
and 1.3333 which is equivalent to 4/3

Hope this helps :)
