Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-4x-12

set up equal to zero

x^2-4x-12=0

lets factor:

(x-6) (x+2) = 0

x-6=0

x=6

or

x+2=0

x=-2

Alena Sims · Answer 2

x=6 x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-4x-12 = 0

Factor

What two numbers multiply to - 12 and add to - 4

-6*2 = - 12

-6+2 = - 4

(x-6) (x+2) = 0

Using the zero product property

(x-6) = 0 x+2 = 0

x=6 x=-2
