It's a quadratic equation.
You could solve for x by factoring to get:
(x-6)(x+4)=0
x = -4 or 6
However, that's not actually what you asked.

x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 4) = 0
Solutions:
x = -4
x = 6

Not sure what the question is. Is the question (1) what is x^2 if -2x-24=0? or (2) x^2-2x-24=0, and what is x?
If it is (1), x=-12, and x^2=144.
If (2), x^2-2x-24=(x+4)(x-6)=0 x=-4, 6

ok ill type x squared as x* to make things easier.
x* - 2x - 24 = 0
(x + 4)(x - 6) = 0
x = {-4, 6}

x= 2 + (24/x)

x*-2x-24=0
(x-6)(x+4)
if this is right do i get ten points

Given the nature of the question, I'd assume you want it factored.
(x+4)(x-6)
So x = -4, or 6
