Solve for x.

12 = x^2 + 6x

Answer: x = 1.6 and - 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 12 = x²+6x

Firstly, we will equate the equation to zero by taking 12 to other side to give;

x²+6x-12 = 0

Using the general formula to solve

If ax²+bx+c=0

x = - b+-√b²-4ac/2a

From the equation given

a = 1 b = 6, c=-12

x = - 6+-√6²-4 (1) (-12) / 2 (1)

x = - 6+-√37+48/2

x = - 6+-√85/2

x = - 6+-9.2/2

x = - 6+9.2/2 and - 6-9.2/2

x = 3.2/2 and - 15.2/2

x = 1.6 and - 7.6
