-24 + 24 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 24
5x + x2 = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: 0 + 24 = 24
5x + x2 = 24

The x term is 5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5x + 6.25 + x2 = 24 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 24 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 24 + 6.25 = 30.25
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 30.25

(x + 2.5)(x + 2.5) = 30.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 5.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 2.5) equal to 5.5 and -5.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 2.5 = 5.5 Simplifying x + 2.5 = 5.5 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = 5.5 Solving 2.5 + x = 5.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = 5.5 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 5.5 + -2.5 x = 5.5 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 5.5 + -2.5 = 3 x = 3 Simplifying x = 3

Subproblem 2

x + 2.5 = -5.5 Simplifying x + 2.5 = -5.5 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = -5.5 Solving 2.5 + x = -5.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = -5.5 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -5.5 + -2.5 x = -5.5 + -2.5 Combine like terms: -5.5 + -2.5 = -8 x = -8 Simplifying x = -8

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3, -8}
