Question

x2-5x-24=0

Answer 1

Are you trying to factor it, find the roots, or what?

Answer 2

@troublebella? What are you trying to do?

Answer 3

Okay then. So what you want to do is start by trying to find factors of 24 that have a difference of 5. So in this case, that's 8 and 3. So since to get -5 we need 3-8, we write (x+3)(x-8). Does that make sense to you?

Answer 4
