You need to factor it.
- Set it equal to zero
x2+x-12=0
- Find what adds up to equal 1 and multiplies together to equal 12, because 1 is the constant for the B and the constants for A and C multiply together to equal 12. Take these two numbers plus x and multiply them.
(x+4)(x-3)=0
- One of these factors needs to be zero to make the statement equal to zero so set them both equal to zero.
x+4=0, x-3=0
- Solve to find the two solutions for x.
x=-4, x=3
You can also use the quadratic formula, but factoring is easier when it's possible.

What is A squared plus 6 squared equals 12 squared?
a2 + 62 = 122 a2 + 62 - 62 = 122 - 62 a2 = 144 - 36 a2 = 108 taking the square root of each side, we get a equal plus or minus the square root of 108, or plus or minus 6 times the square root of 3.
What is the discontinuity of the function f(x) the quantity of x squared minus 4 x minus 12 all over x plus 2?
In such cases, there is usually a discontinuity when the denominator is zero. In other words, solve for:x + 2 = 0
How do you factor the expression x squared plus 1x minus 12?
The expression x2 + 1x - 12 can be factored out as (x - 3)(x + 4)
Simplify p squared minus 3p over p squared minus 6p plus 9 divided by 20 over 4p-12?
answer is p/5. problem: {[(p^2)-3p]/[(p^2)-6p+9]}/{20/(4p-12)}
How do you factor x squared minus 12 x plus 36?
x squared minus 12 x plus 36 = (x - 6)(x - 6)
What is 12 squared minus 17 plus 6?
133
How do you factor x squared plus 9x minus 36?
(x + 12)(x - 3)
What is the factor to x squared plus 7x minus 60?
(x - 5)(x + 12)
How do you solve this z squared minus 12 plus 36?
z2 - 12 + 36 is the same as z2 + 24. That's a simplification, but not a solution. There's nothing to solve, because the question doesn't give an equation. If z2+24 were equal to something, then we'd have an equation, and we would be thrilled to solve it for the value of 'z'.
