Answer:

A: x = -3, D: x = 8

Explanation:

First you must subtract 24 from both sides of the equation.

You should end up with
x^2-5x-24=0

Next you must factor the left side of the equation:


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

Now, set each of the factors equal to zero:


x+3=0 Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.


x-8=0 Add 8 to both sides of the equation.

You will then get x = -3 and x = 8.
