If you want to factor it, you can do so by finding two numbers that add up to make 2, and multiply to make 24.

Unfortunately, there are no two such numbers, so that expression does not have any factors.

If you want to solve for a value, that can be done by completing the square. Because there is no value given (e.g. x2 - 2x + 24 = 23), there is no solution to be found.
