Answer:
-8 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+5x-24=0
x^2+8x-3x-24=0
x(x+8)-3(x+8)=0
(x+8)(x-3)=0
so x=-8 and x=3

Answer:
- 8 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To know the roots of a polynomial we have to factorise it and know it's factors.
x²+5x-24
= x² + 8x -3x -24
= x(x+8) -3(x+8)
= (x+8) (x-3)
So now the two factors of x²+5x-24 are (x+8) (x-3)
On comparing the factors with zero we find the value of x or the 'zeroes'
x+8=0
x= -8
Similarly
x-3= 0
x= 3
