Question

How do you solve the equation `x^2-10x=-24` by using the quadratic formula?

Answer 1

`x_1=6`

`x_2=4`

Explanation:

The first thing we must do before we solve any algebraic equation is put it in standard form.

`x^2-10x+24=0`

`x=(10+-sqrt(100-4(24)(1)))/2=(10+-sqrt4)/2=12/2` or `8/2=6,4`
