Answer: (x-8)(x+3)=0


Step-by-step explanation:

The standard quadratic equation is ax^2+bx+c=0

Given quadratic equation:-x^2-5x-24=0, here a=1, b= -5, c= -24

Now, factorize given functions, first find two numbers that multiply to give ac and add to give b

ac=1×-24= -24

After checking factors of -24 we found -8 and 3 which multiply to give -24 and add to give -5

Rewrite the equation by writing -5 as sum of -8 and 3, we get

x^2+(-8+5)x-24=0\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-8x+3x-24=0\\\Rightarrow\ (x^2-8x)+(3x-24)=0\\\Rightarrow\ x(x-8)+3(x-8)=0\\\\[\text{Take (x-8) as common outside}]\\\Rightarrow\ (x-8)(x+3)=0

X² - 5x - 24 = 0

x² ⇒ x * x ⇒ (x + __) (x - __)
24 ⇒ 8 * 3 
-5 ⇒ - 8 + 3

(x - 8)(x + 3) = 0

x(x+3) - 8(x+3) = x² + 3x - 8x - 24 = x² - 5x - 24 

(x-8) = 0
x = 8

(x+3) = 0
x = -3

Sorry, your answer isn't correct.
The answer is 7.
4(7)+15(7)+3+7(7)-5=180

28  + 108 +  45 = 180.


If we plug in 22.5, it will equal 583 not 180.
we will get
