Question

anonymous · Answer

Do you know how to find your A, your B, any your C?

tia_sweetheart17 · Answer

yeah

anonymous · Answer

Wait- just re read the question. You're looking to use the quadratic formula, right?

tia_sweetheart17 · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

Okay, good. So your a is 1, your b is 2, and your c is -24

so wherever you see an a in the formula, you put a 1, 2 for the b, and -24 for the c

anonymous · Answer

So, the formula starts with (-b)^2. For that b, you'd put in 2. Do the same with the rest of the a's,b's, and c's and then just solve for x

Is that good or do you want to do the process together?

tia_sweetheart17 · Answer
