If a and b are the two values of t that satisfy
the equation t^2 â€“ 14t + 24 = 0, with a > b, what is the value of a â€“ b?  Answers:
A) 2	B) 4	C) 6	D) 8	E) 10
Factor the left side of the equation:   t^2 â€“ 14t + 24 = 0   (t â€“ 2)(t â€“ 12) = 0   t = 2, t = 12   Thus, a = 12 and b = 2. So a â€“ b = 12 â€“ 2 = 10.   The answer is 10.
