need help with math! (solved)

its been ages since i last had math..

so can anyone explain to me how i solve:

x² + 10x +24 = 0

Thanks guys, i understand it now.. simple stuff..:)

x=-6
x=-4
can you give me a short explanation?:)

You can do as people told you below, but for these simple ones it can be done like this:

x1 + x2=-b (-10 in this case)
x1 x x2= c (24 in this case)

So, you can kinda guess the x1 and x2, by looking at it
Parent
x1 + x2 = -b/a
x1 x x2 = c/a
anyway ur right, here a=1 so it doesnt make any differnce
Parent
well, how do you find the -6 and the -4 then?
Parent
x1 and x2 are the unknowns, you have just system of two equations and you need to solve it
Parent
logical thinking, x²+10x+24=0

x = -6 => 36 - 60 + 24 = 0
x = -4 => 16 - 40 + 24 = 0

on a sidenote, I guess you forgot the important rule that L =|= {0}
Parent
x ² - 10 x + 24 = 0

( x - 6 ) ( x - 4 ) = 0

x = 6 , x = 4
the abc-formula (is what we called it anyway)

AX² + BX + C = 0

D = B² - 4AC= 4

X1,2= (-B+-V(D))/2A

X1 = -4
X2 = -6
DISGUSTING
fünfte klasse fuck yea
nicht 7. / 8. ?
Parent
ich glaube so eine leichte art von gleichungen musste ich in der 5 schon lösen, aber könntest recht haben.
Parent
bin mir eig ziemlich sicher, dass wir hier in hamburg lineare gleichungen erst in der 7. bekommen haben, also parabeln, dann ende 7. oder 8. :D

naja egal ;) hamburg halt

AHAHAHAHAH SO NOOB

imagine u got like a polynome ax²+bx+c=0

Shizzle = b² - 4 ac

shizzle > 0 ->
x1 = (-b+shizzle^1/2)/2a
x2 = (-b-shizzle^1/2)/2a

Shizzle = 0 ->
x=-b/2a

shizzle<0 -> no solution for real numbers

hope u understand all dat shizzle
doin math like a bo double s, bitchez love math
Parent
understand u bro math & physics > all
Parent
wow, i dont understand shit of what you wrote, im really stupid :s
nothing surprising for a belgian
Parent
dude you are 22 -.-
he tries to say, is that, that form of maths gets done by 14 year olds
Parent
abc / pq formula, there you go
i feel you bro

im good at language stuff but math is like cancer
this isn't even maths, this is just kid's stuff
Parent
after reading this journal yeah I figured it out but if someone asked me this just randomly I would have no chance to solve it
