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
3:8 can also be written as 3/8
12:32 can also be written as 12/32
So thus 3:8 is equivalent to 12:32
The like terms in 10a+4b+3a-15b consist of a and b. First, we have to combine like terms.
(10a+3a) + (4b-15b)
solve a and b
13a - 11b. Thus, the like terms in your original expression are 13a and -11b :)
