could you please help me with this one too if you can @jigglypuff314 :)

Answer 2

Answer 3

6 and 4, which method are you using? lol

Answer 4

factoring :P

Answer 5

I have to explain this to my teacher over the phone so I just say that I used factoring Awesomeee, so those are both solutions? :P

Answer 6

Can we try another method because I don't get how to show my work and they want me to show the work :(

Answer 7

I hope you're still there lol, if you hate the quadratic formula as much as me you might be annoyed but can you help me do it that way because showing my work for factoring blew my mind and it confuses me

Answer 8

sorry about the wait - I got side tracked by a trouble maker .-.
anyways...

x^2 + 10x + 24 = 0

a = 1 (the coefficient in front of x^2)
b = 10
c = 24

Answer 9

Lol it's fine I was just thinking if you had an emergency irl or something and had to leave me lol or bathroom break

Answer 10

so we can just plug in those a b c into the quadratic formula

Answer 11

why not factor? its easier

Answer 12

factoring is more difficult to explain conceptually ^_^

oh I see

Answer 14

you could think of it as what times what equal x^2 and what times what multiply to 24 and adds to 10

Answer 15

you could think of it as what times what equal x^2 and what times what multiply to 24 and adds to 10
