Question 123677: Please help me solve this equation
Factor:
w^2-2w-24

All we have to do is to write the formula down and replace the numbers:
Our ecuation is
w^2-2w-24 so aw^2+bw+c where a is 1, b is -2 and c is -24.
so we have now:

so simplified is:
(2+-sqrt(100)) /2 which is 2+-10)/2
so one solution is (2+10)/2=6 and the other solution is (2-10)/2=-4
Let me know if you got it. Thank-you.
