$x_{1} = 6$ $x_1=6$

$x_{2} = 4$ $x_2=4$

Explanation:

The first thing we must do before we solve any algebraic equation is put it in standard form.

$x^{2} - 10 x + 24 = 0$ $x^2-10x+24=0$

$x = \frac{10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 4 (24) (1)}}{2} = \frac{10 \pm \sqrt{4}}{2} = \frac{12}{2}$ $x=(10+-sqrt(100-4(24)(1)))/2=(10+-sqrt4)/2=12/2$ or $\frac{8}{2} = 6, 4$ $8/2=6,4$
