Worksheet 7
Factorise the following expressions.
x²+2x-24​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

his would be more a quadratic equation, and so I'll solve it for you.

Explanation:

When looking to factor a trinomial of the form y = ax2 + 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

x2 + 2x - 24 = 0

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

x = -6 and 4
