+x%5E2+-+10x+=+-24+
+x%5E2+-+10x+%2B+24+
Use quadratic formula
+x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2+-+4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29+%2F+%282%2Aa%29+
+a+=+1+
+b+=+-10+
+c+=+24+
+x+=+%28-%28-10%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-10%29%5E2+-+4%2A1%2A24+%29%29+%2F+%282%2A1%29+
+x+=+%28+10+%2B-+sqrt%28+100+-+96+%29%29+%2F+2+
+x+=+%28+10+%2B-+sqrt%28+4+%29%29+%2F+2+
+x+=+%28+10+%2B+2+%29+%2F+2+
+x+=+6+
and, also
+x+=+%28+10+-+2+%29+%2F+2+
+x+=+4+
----------------
check answers:
+6%5E2+-+10%2A6+=+-24+
+36+-+60+=+-24+
+-24+=+-24+
and
+4%5E2+-+10%2A4+=+-24+
+16+-+40+=+-24+
+-24+=+-24+
OK
