Answer:

x = - 6, x = 4

Explanation:

Given

x² + 2x - 24 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 6 and - 4 , since

6 × - 4 = - 24 and 6 - 4 = + 2 , then

x² + 2x - 24 = (x + 6)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
