Question

x-5x-24 by using splitting the middle term ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8 or -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

=> x = 8 or -3

Answer 2

Your question is x2 -5x- 24

Answer:
= x2 - 8x +3x - 24
= x(x-8) +3(x-8)
=(x-8)(x+3)



you want zeros

x-8 = 0
x = 8



x+3=0
x= -3
