Step 1 :Rewrite the equation in the standard form, which is \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\). The given equation is \(5x^2 = 26x + 24\), so the standard form is \(5x^2 - 26x - 24 = 0\).
Step 2 :Factor the equation. The factored form of the equation is \((x - 6)(5x + 4) = 0\).
Step 3 :Solve for \(x\) by setting each factor equal to zero. This gives us the solutions \(x = -\frac{4}{5}\) and \(x = 6\).
Step 4 :\(\boxed{x = -\frac{4}{5}, x = 6}\)
