Factors of -24 that add up to 5

8 and -3

(x + 8)(x - 3)


Answer:

\((x+8)(x-3)\)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the factor of :

\(x^2+5x-24\)

Split the middle term 5 as:

+8 -3 = 5 which is one of the factor of -24

then,  we have;

\(x^2+8x-3x-24\)

⇒\(x(x+8)-3(x+8)\)

Take x+8 common we get

⇒\((x+8)(x-3)\)

Therefore, the factor of \(x^2+5x-24\) is,\((x+8)(x-3)\)
