Pls asap completing square X^2 -24x+5=0

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 24x + 5 = 0

x² - 24x = -5

Now divide the co efficient of x by 2 and square the quotient and add to both sides

24/2 = 12

12² = 144. Now add 144 to both sides of the equation.

x² - 24x + 144 = 5 + 144

x² - 24x  + 144 = 149

x² - 2*12*x + 12² = 149

(x  - 12)² = 149

Both sides take square root

x - 12  = ±√149

x = 12 ± √149

-31

Step-by-step explanation:

if x equals -4 and b equals -5

9(-4) -(-5)

-36 + 5
