Solve m^2 - 5m = 24

Evaluate

m^{2} - 5 m = 24

Move the expression to the left side

m^{2} - 5 m - 24 = 0

Factor the expression

More Steps

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

When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0

m - 8 = 0 m + 3 = 0

Solve the equation for m

More Steps

m = 8 m + 3 = 0

Solve the equation for m

More Steps

m = 8 m = - 3

Solution

m_{1} = - 3, m_{2} = 8
