a) x2 + 10x - 2x - 20 = 0
=> x(x + 10) - 2(x + 10) = 0
=> (x - 2)(x + 10) = 0
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x-2=0\\x+10=0\end{cases}}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=2\\x=-10\end{cases}}\)
b) \(x^2-5x-24=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2-5x+\frac{25}{4}-\frac{121}{4}=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x-\frac{5}{2}\right)^2=\frac{121}{4}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}\left(x-\frac{5}{2}\right)^2=\left(-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2\\\left(x-\frac{5}{2}\right)^2=\left(\frac{11}{2}\right)^2\end{cases}}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x-\frac{5}{2}=\left(-\frac{11}{2}\right)\\x-\frac{5}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\end{cases}}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=-\frac{6}{2}=3\\x=\frac{16}{2}=8\end{cases}}\)
c) x2 - 8x + 3x - 24 = 0
=> x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8) = 0
=> (x + 3)(x - 8) = 0
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x+3=0\\x-8=0\end{cases}}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=-3\\x=8\end{cases}}\)
