7/8 = 21/24
5/12 = 10/24
21/24-10/24 = 11/24
<h2>Using the quadratic formula</h2>
The quadratic formula can help us solve for x in a quadratic equation:

We can use this when the given equation is organized in standard form: 
<h3>Applying this to the problem</h3>

First we can identify the values of a, b and c:
a = 2
b = 5
c = -4
Plug these values into the quadratic formula:




<h2>Answer</h2>
Therefore, the two possible values of x are:


The number that is halfway between to others is their average value, that is, their sum divided by 2.
(6 +24)/2 = 30/2 = 15
15 is halfway between 6 and 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x +3 +x-5
3x+3+(-5)
3x +(-2)
x= -2÷3
x=-6
