For what values of x is x2+2x=24 true? -6 and -4 -4 and 6 4 and -6 6 and 4

Accepted Solution

A:
The value of the x of the equation x² + 2x = 24 is negative 6 and 4, then the correct option is C.What is a factorization?It is the method to separate the polynomial into parts and the parts will be in multiplication. And the value of the polynomial at this point will be zero.The expression equation is given below.x² + 2x = 24x² + 2x – 24 = 0On factorization, we have        x² + 2x – 24 = 0x² + 6x – 4x – 24 = 0        (x – 4)(x + 6) = 0                          x = –6, 4The value of x is –6 and 4.More about the factorization link is given below.
