Question

How do you solve `x^(2) - 10x + 24=0`?

Answer 1

It's easiest to factor.

Explanation:

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

`x = 6 and 4`

Hopefully this helps!

Answer 2

4 and 6

Explanation:

Find 2 numbers, knowing sum (-b = 10) and product (c = 24).
Factor pairs of (24) -->... (3, 8)(4, 6). This sum is 10.
Then, the 2 real roots are: 4 and 6
