#x=(-11+-sqrt(217))/(2)#

Explanation:

Because this is not an equation, you can't solve it, but you can use the quadratic formula (since it doesn't factor) by setting the expression equal to zero.
#x^2+11x-24#
Quadratic formula:
#x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)#

#x^2+11x-24=0#

#x=(-11+-sqrt(11^2-4(1)(-24)))/(2(1))#

#x=(-11+-sqrt(121+96))/(2)#

#x=(-11+-sqrt(217))/(2)#
