Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x - 24 = (x - 8)(x + 3).
When x² - 5x - 24 = 0, (x - 8)(x + 3) = 0.
By Zero product rule, x - 8 = 0 or x + 3 = 0.
=> x = 8 or x = -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] {x}^{2} - 5x - 24 \\ = {x}^{2} + 3x - 8x - 24 \\ = x(x + 3) - 8(x + 3) \\ = \boxed{(x + 3)(x - 8)} \\ when \\ {x}^{2} - 5x - 24 = 0 \\ (x + 3)(x - 8) = 0 \\ \boxed{x = - 3} \\ \boxed{x = 8}[/tex]
