​x² - 5x - 24 = 0

First, we have to solve the quadratic equation and find the two values of x that fit the equation.​

x =  \frac{5+- \sqrt{5^{2} + 4*1*24 } }{2*1}  =  \frac{5+- \sqrt{25 + 96} }{2} =  \frac{5+- \sqrt{121} }{2}  =  \frac{5+-11}{2}​

There are two values of x that fit:​

x₁ = (5+11)/2 = 16/2 = 8​

x₂ = (5-11)/2 = -6/2 = -3​

Now I can restate the original equation in terms of a product of factors, with this product being equal to zero:​

(x - x₁) * (x - x₂) = 0​

ANSWER ​(x-8) * (x+3) = 0

Now I can solve each factor by setting each one equal to zero and solving the resulting linear equations:​

x - 8 = 0 or x + 3 = 0​

x = 8 or x = -3​

We can check that these two values are the solution to the original quadratic equation.​

x² - 5x - 24 = 0​

​First value

​8² -5*8 -24 = 0

64 - 40 -24 = 0​

0 = 0 ¡Checked!​

Second value​

(-3)² -5(-3) -24 = 0​

9 + 15 -24 = 0​

0 = 0 ¡Checked!​

​Hope this helps!

How kany doulutions does this equation have 25 - 4x=15-3x+10-x
natima [27]
Since it's a one-variable equation, it has only one solution:

25 - 4x = 15 - 3x + 10 - x

25 - 4x + x = 15 - 3x + 10

25 - 3x = 15 - 3x + 10

- 3x = 15 - 3x + 10 - 25

- 3x = 15 - 3x - 15

- 3x + 3x = 15 - 15

0 = 15 - 15

0 = 0




Hope it helped,
