Question

factories x square + 2x - 24​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

When looking to factor a trinomial of the form y =

ax^2+ bx + c, where a = 1, you must find two numbers that multiply to c and that add to b.

The two numbers we are looking for are 6 and -4, since 6 X -4 = -24 and 6 + (-4) = 2

x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0

(x +6)(x - 4) = 0

x = -6 and 4

The solutions are -6 and 4.
