You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t^2+14+t24
write it
t%5E2+%2B+24t+%2B+14+=+0
This is not a perfect square and has no integer roots
Use quadratic formula to find t;
t+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+; where a=1; b=24; c=14
t+=+%28-24+%2B-+sqrt%28+24%5E2-4%2A1%2A14+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
t+=+%28-24+%2B-+sqrt%28+576-56+%29%29%2F%282%29+
t+=+%28-24+%2B-+sqrt%28+520+%29%29%2F%282%29+
t+=+%28-24+%2B-+22.8%29%2F%282%29+
Two solutions
t+=+%28-24+%2B+22.8%29%2F%282%29+
t = -1.2%2F2
t = -.598
and
t+=+%28-24+-+22.8%29%2F%282%29+
t = -46.8%2F2
t = -23.4
