Question

What is the solution set of x^2 -5x -24 =0?

Simplify fully please.

Answer 1

x^2 - 5x - 24 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 8)
x = -3 and x = 8

Answer 2

Question :
What is the solution set of x^2 -5x -24 =0? Simplify fully please.
Answer :
first, factor the equation :

`x^(2) -5x -24 = 0`


`(x-8)(x+3) = 0`


`x-8=0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \vee \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x+3=0`


`x=8\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \vee \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x=-3`
