Solve by factoring:

x² + 2x - 24 = 0

• x = -6, x = 4

• x = 6, x = -4

• x = 12, x = -2

• x = 8, x = -3

Solve by factoring this quadratic equation

4x² - 5x - 6 =0

• x =-2 or -4/3

• x = -3/4 or x = 2

• x = -2 or x=3/4

• x = 4 or x = 5

Convert x² - 9x + 20 = 0 to factored form and solve.

• (x-10)(x+2)=0; x = -2, 10

• (x+4)(x+5)=0; x = -5, -4

• (x-4)(x-5)=0; x = 4, 5

• Not factorable
