I'll help you factor and afterwards will let you solve.

x^2+10x+24

x^2+4x+6x+24

(x^2+4x)+(6x+24)

x(x+4)+(6x+24)

x(x+4)+6(x+4)

(x+6)(x+4)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

x^2+10x+24

completely factors to

(x+6)(x+4)

I'll let you take over from here and solve for x.
