Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply.
x^2-2x-24=0 A. 6
B. 4
C.-6
D.-24
E. -4

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.
