Question

please solve = p^2-2p-24​

Answer 1

Answer:

$p^2-2p-24 = (p-6) (p-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find numbers whose product is -24 and sum is - 2

So, the numbers are -6 and + 4 whose product is -24 and sum is - 2.

$p^2-2p-24​\\= p^2-6p+ 4p-24​\\= p ( p - 6) + 4 (p - 6)\\= (p-6) (p-4)$

Answer 2

Answer:

p = 6, p = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2-2p-24

= p^2-6p-4p-24

= p (p-6) - 4 (p-6)

= (p-6)(p-4)

p=6, p=4
