1 answer

To determine if \( x = 4 \) and \( x = 6 \) are solutions to the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 10x + 24 = 0 \), we can substitute these values into the equation and check if they satisfy it.

  1. For \( x = 4 \): \[ x^2 - 10x + 24 = 4^2 - 10(4) + 24 \] \[ = 16 - 40 + 24 \] \[ = 16 - 40 + 24 = 0 \] So, \( x = 4 \) is a solution.

  2. For \( x = 6 \): \[ x^2 - 10x + 24 = 6^2 - 10(6) + 24 \] \[ = 36 - 60 + 24 \] \[ = 36 - 60 + 24 = 0 \] So, \( x = 6 \) is a solution.

Since both \( x = 4 \) and \( x = 6 \) satisfy the equation \( x^2 - 10x + 24 = 0 \), the correct response is:

Both x=4 and x=6 are solutions.
