when solved for x, what is the sum when the roots of the quadratic equation are added?

x^2 + 10x + 24 = 0

A = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 10x + 24 = 0

To find the roots, we need to factor the equation.

What 2 numbers multiply to 24 and add to 10

6*4 = 24

6+4 = 10

(x+6) (x+4)=0

Using the zero product property

x+6 = 0  x+4 = 0

x = -6   x = -4

We want the sum when the roots are added

-6+ -4 = -10
