x = -3 and x = 8
Question :
What is the solution set of x^2 -5x -24 =0? Simplify fully please.
Answer :
first, factor the equation :
[tex] x^{2} -5x -24 = 0[/tex]

[tex](x-8)(x+3) = 0[/tex]

[tex]x-8=0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \vee \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x+3=0[/tex]

[tex]x=8\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \vee \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x=-3[/tex]
