    x = - 8 or x = 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To factor ax² + bx + c, use AC method.

    a times c is 1 * - 24 = - 24.

    Factors of ac (-24) that add up to b (5) are 8 and - 3.

    Divide by a and reduce: 8/1 and - 3/1.

    Therefore, the factors are x + 8 and x - 3.

    x² + 5x - 24 = 0

    (x + 8) (x - 3) = 0

    x = - 8 or 3
