Answer:

x = -8 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor ax² + bx + c, use AC method.

a times c is 1 × -24 = -24.

Factors of ac (-24) that add up to b (5) are 8 and -3.

Divide by a and reduce: 8/1 and -3/1.

Therefore, the factors are x + 8 and x − 3.

x² + 5x − 24 = 0

(x + 8) (x − 3) = 0

x = -8 or 3

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Octagon

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angles = 3*360 = 1080

sum of interior angles, is also, s = (n-2)180

From that,

n-2)180 = 1080

n-2 = 1080/180

n = 6 + 2

n = 8

Therefore, the figure is an 8 sided polygon or an octagon
