To solve the equation \( xx - 9 = 15 \), let's first rewrite it correctly. Assuming "xx" means \( x^2 \), the equation becomes:

\[
x^2 - 9 = 15
\]

Now, let's simplify the equation:

1. Add 9 to both sides:

\[
x^2 = 15 + 9
\]

\[
x^2 = 24
\]

2. Now, take the square root of both sides:

\[
x = \pm \sqrt{24}
\]

We can simplify \( \sqrt{24} \):

\[
\sqrt{24} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 6} = 2 \sqrt{6}
\]

So the solutions are:

\[
x = 2 \sqrt{6} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -2 \sqrt{6}
\]

Thus, the possible solutions in approximate decimal form are \( x \approx 4.899 \) and \( x \approx -4.899 \).

Since the options listed (x = 24, x = 6, x = -24, x = -6) do not match our results, it appears there was a misinterpretation of "xx." If there is any correction or more details, please provide!
