Solution

Sure, let's solve the equation step by step:

  1. First, rewrite the equation: x^2 + 8x - 24 = 3x
  2. Then, rearrange the equation to bring all terms to one side: x^2 + 8x - 3x - 24 = 0
  3. Simplify the equation: x^2 + 5x - 24 = 0
  4. Now, factor the quadratic equation: (x - 3)(x + 8) = 0
  5. Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x: x - 3 = 0 or x + 8 = 0
  6. Solving these gives: x = 3 or x = -8

So, the solutions to the equation x^2 + 8x - 24 = 3x are x = 3 and x = -8.
