let z=x^2-2x, then z^2-11z+24=0, by Viete (z-3)(z-8)=0
z=3 implies x^2-2x-3=0 => (x-3)(x+1)=0, x=3 or x=-1
z=8 implies x^2-2x-8=0 => (x-4)(x+2)=0, x=4 or x=-2
verif : 3 : (9-6)^2-11*3+24=9-33+24=33-33=0
-1 : (1+2)^2-11*3+24=9-33+24=33-33=0
4 : (16-8)^2-11*8+24=64-88+24=88-88=0
-2 : (4+4)^2-11*8+24=64-88+24=88-88=0
ok.
