Answer:
A. 6
E. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 2x - 24 = 0
x - 6
x 4
(x - 6)(x + 4) = 0
Set each parenthesis equal to 0:
(x - 6) = 0
Isolate the variable, x. Add 6 to both sides;
x - 6 (+6) = 0 (+6)
x = 0 + 6
x = 6
(x + 4) = 0
Isolate the variable, x. Subtract 4 from both sides:
x + 4 (-4) = 0 (-4)
x = 0 - 4
x = -4
x = -4, 6 are your solutions, or A. & E.
