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
√(x-5) = √(3-x)
|x-5| = |3-x|
x-5= 3-x
2x = 8
x=4
It is a similar triangle so the side length of the smaller triangle (x and x-2) are in the same ratio as the bigger triangle (2x+5 and 2x-1). As the ratio is the same, you can equate them and solve for x.
