x=(-11+-sqrt(217))/(2)

Explanation:

Because this is not an equation, you can't solve it, but you can use the quadratic formula (since it doesn't factor) by setting the expression equal to zero.
x^2+11x-24
Quadratic formula:
x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

x^2+11x-24=0

x=(-11+-sqrt(11^2-4(1)(-24)))/(2(1))

x=(-11+-sqrt(121+96))/(2)

x=(-11+-sqrt(217))/(2)
