Question

2x²-3x-24=0 please answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

(2x2 - 3x) - 24 = 0

STEP

2

:

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 2x2-3x-24

The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .

The middle term is, -3x its coefficient is -3 .

The last term, "the constant", is -24

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -24 = -48

Step-2 : Find two factors of -48 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -3 .

-48 + 1 = -47

-24 + 2 = -22

-16 + 3 = -13

-12 + 4 = -8

-8 + 6 = -2

-6 + 8 = 2

-4 + 12 = 8

-3 + 16 = 13

-2 + 24 = 22

-1 + 48 = 47
