Answer: x= 2(2+sqrt(10)) , x=2(2-sqrt(10)
Explanation:
x^2-8x=24 <- subtract 24 from both sides
x^2-8x-24 <- take quadratic formulat (-2+/- Sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)/2a
-(-8) +/- sqrt((-8)^2 - 4(1*-24) all over (2*1) <- simplify
(-(-8) +/- 4sqrt(10) )/2 <- sepereate
(-(-8) +/4sqrt(10) )/2 , (-(-8) - 4sqrt(10) )/2 <- simplify
2(2+sqrt(10)) , 2(2-sqrt(10) =x
