a. \(x^2-6x+5=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x^2-x\right)-\left(5x-5\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x-1\right)-5\left(x-1\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-5\right)\left(x-1\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x-5=0\\x-1=0\end{cases}}\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=5\\x=1\end{cases}}\)
b. \(x^2-2x-24=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x^2-6x\right)+\left(4x-24\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x-6\right)+4\left(x-6\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x+4=0\\x-6=0\end{cases}}\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=-4\\x=6\end{cases}}\)
