X^2+3x=24, halve the linear coefficient, square it, and add it to both sides
In this case (3/2)^2=2.25
x^2+3x+2.25=26.25 now the left side is a perfect square...
(x+1.5)^2=26.25 take the square root of both sides
x+1.5=±√26.25 subtract 1.5 from both sides
x=-1.5±√26.25
x=-1.5-√26.25 and -1.5+√26.25
x≈ -6.62 and 3.62

Answer:
455ways
Step-by-step explanation:
This is expressed as 15 C 3 ( C- combination)
The concept of combination is used when we talk about selection.
Now we are selecting 3 from a sample of 15
15 C 3 = 15! / (15-3)! 3! = 15 ×14×13×12!/12!×3×2
= 5 × 7 × 13 = 455ways
