QuestionSolve for x in the equation x² - 5x - 24 = 0. Use the quadratic formula and list the smallest solution first.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the second solution.
$$x=\frac{5 +11}{2} =8$$So, the solutions for the equation $x^{2}-5x-24=$ are $x=-3$ and $x=8$. Since we are asked to enter the smallest solution first, the solutions are $x=-3,8$.
