~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You have 2 possible answers...

x= −4 OR x= 6

Explanation:

Subtract -3x + 24 from both sides:

x^2 − 5x − ( −3x + 24 )= −3x + 24 − ( −3x + 24 )

x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0

Factor left side of the equation:

(x+4) * (x−6) =0

So all set factors equal to 0... so then you get your answer

~~~~~DOWN BELOW~~~~~~

x + 4= 0 or x − 6 = 0

x= −4 or x= 6

Hope I helped!!! Good luck :)
