Answer:
A: x = -3, D: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
First you must subtract 24 from both sides of the equation.
You should end up with [tex]x^2-5x-24=0[/tex]
Next you must factor the left side of the equation:
[tex](x+3)(x-8)=0[/tex]
Now, set each of the factors equal to zero:
[tex]x+3=0[/tex] Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
[tex]x-8=0[/tex] Add 8 to both sides of the equation.
You will then get x = -3 and x = 8.
