You can solve this 2 ways: plug in all of the options or solve for x.
i going to solve for x.

given: x^2+2x=24 (subtract 24 on both sides to get make it look like x^2+x+1)

x^2+2x-24=0 (now factor x^2+2x-24 out)

x^2+2x-24 --> (x-4)(x+6)

new equation: (x-4)(x+6)=0 (now make them both equl zero)

new equaions: x-4=0 x+6=0 (now solve for x for both)

x-4=0 x+6=0
x=4 x=-6
your answer is 4 and -6.
if you were not taught how to do what i just did then i can message you how to plug those numbers into x^2+2x=24 to find the answer.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is $\pi r^2$ , where r is the radius. In this circle, the area would therefore be $3.14\cdot 2^2=12.56$ . However, since this is only a quarter circle, you need to divide the area by 4, meaning that the area of this shape is 3.14 square units. Hope this helps!

there are 6 times as many ways to arrange the letters in the word "sleeplessness" as there are to arrange the letters in the wor

EastWind [94]

Using arrangements of words, it is found that the statement is true.

------------------

Suppose a word has n letters.
Considering that m of these letters are repeating, each $n_1,n_2,...,n_m$ times.
The number of distinct ways the word can be arranged is given by:

$N = \frac{n!}{n_1\times n_2 \times ... n_m}$

------------------

The word "sleeplessness" has 13 letters.
s repeats 5 times.
e repeats 4 times.
l repeats 2 times.

Thus, the number of ways to arrange the letters is given by:

$N_1 = \frac{13!}{5!4!2!}$

------------------

The word "senselessness" has 13 letters.
s repeats 6 times.
e repeats 4 times.
n repeats 2 times.

Thus, the number of ways to arrange the letters is given by:

$N_2 = \frac{13!}{6!4!2!}$

------------------

Finding the ratio of $N_2$ to $N_1$ :

$\frac{N_2}{N_1} = \frac{\frac{13!}{5!4!2!}}{\frac{13!}{6!4!2!}} = \frac{13!}{5!4!2!} \times \frac{6!4!2!}{13!} = \frac{6!}{5!} = 6$

Thus, since the ratio is 6, the statement is true.
