$x^{2} + 11 x + 24$ $x^2+11x+24$

We're looking for $a$ $a$ and $b$ $b$ such that
$a + b = 11$ $a+b = 11$ and $a \times b = 24$ $axxb=24$

A little thought comes up with $(a, b) = (3, 8)$ $(a,b)=(3,8)$

and the factors are
$(x + 3) (x + 8)$ $(x+3)(x+8)$

I'll try by solving it as a second degree equation as:
