You need to play with multiples of 24 (1x24, 2x12, 3x8, 4x6) for the constant term which add to 2 for the n term to factor:
( n + 6 ) ( n - 4 ) = 0
Each term can now be resolved for 0
first solution)
n + 6 = 0
n + 6 - 6 = 0 - 6
n + 0 = - 6
n = - 6
Second solution)
n - 4 = 0
n - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4
n - 0 = 4
n = 4
The solution is n = - 6 and n = 4
