Im assuming you mean x2 (x squared). This equation will be a quadratic.
so...
x2+144=-24x subtract -24x from itself and the other side
-24x -24x
-----------------
x2-24x+144=0 now break it down even further
(x-12)(x-12)=0 Now you solve the "mini-equations"
x-12=0 x-12=0
+12 +12 +12 +12
---------------------------
x=12 or x=12
hope it helps!!!

What is the solution of x power of 2 plus 24x plus 144 equals negative 9?
(x^2) + 24x + 144 = -9 x = -12
How can you solve 3x2 plus 24x equals 0?
x=-.25.
What is x squared plus 24x plus 180 equals 0?
x2 + 24x +180 = 0 By using the quadratic equation, you can find that x = -12 + 6i or x = -12 - 6i
Solve for x in the following equation 4X - 7 equals 2?
4x-7=24x=9 x=9/4
What number completes the square x2 plus 24x equals 50?
X^2 + 24X = 50 you halve the linear term, square it and add it to both sides X^2 + 24X + 144 = 50 + 144 factor the left side; gather terms on the right (X + 12)^2 = 194 (X + 12)^2 - 194 = 0 so, either 144 is your number, or 194 is. Sounds as a silly question to me as you complete the square to get the vertex of the polynomial. Which is; (12,- 194) = wrong!! Woops! Wrong! Made fudemental mistake! [ (- 12 + 12 ) = 0!! ] So, the vertex is; (- 12, - 194 )
