Solve x^2 + 5x – 24 = 0
Being a quadratic equation in the following form,the simplest way to solve would be through the quadratic formula which goes as follows:
The first step to solving is therefore to identify a, b, c, within our question.a=1b=5c=-24we would then plug these into our equation and solve for values of x as shown on the whiteboard.
