Question 81445
</pre>
can someone please check this for me?

{{{x^2-11x+24 = 0}}}
{{{x=((-(-11))+-sqrt(11^2-4*1*24))/(2*1)}}}
{{{x=(11+5)/(2*1)}}}
{{{x=16/2=8}}}
{{{x=6/2=3}}}
{{{x=8}}},{{{3}}}

All you have to do to check is to substitute
them in the original:
{{{x^2-11x+24 = 0}}}
{{{(8)^2-11(8)+24 = 0}}}
{{{64-88+24} = 0}}}
{{{0 = 0}}}

That one checks.

{{{x^2-11x+24 = 0}}}
{{{(3)^2-11(3)+24 = 0}}}
{{{9-33+24} = 0}}}
{{{0 = 0}}}
 
That one checks too.  So you are right.
