Well, first your equation is a quadratic right? So the form of $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$

Now, first, find two numbers that multiply to C, so in your case (24) and add to B in your case (-10). What are they, btw, remember that multiypling that - * - = +.

6 and 4 or 3 and 8 @Zelda

No, remember they have to add to -10, so it has to be -6 and -4, since -8 and -3 add to -11.

So, you have your two numbers, now separate the b section like so: 

x^2 - 6x - 4x + 24 and factor this out in groups.
