Question

To solve the equation t² - t = 12 by factoring, you would use

t(t - 1) = 12
t(t - 1) - 12 = 0
(t - 4)(t + 3) = 0

Answer 1

well, which one do you think it is?

Answer 2

better question, which one would help you solve for t

explain your reasoning

Answer 3

ummm a and i hoonestly have no reason just an educated guess....?

Answer 4

Multiply them until you find one which is equal to t^2-t-12

Answer 5

not helping....idk can you just tell me ?

Answer 6

nope

Answer 7

No we can't just tell you but we can give you a hint: If the product of factors is 0 then one of the factors is 0.

Answer 8

4 and 3 make 12.....(: right ?

Answer 9

so it would be C...

Answer 10

thank you !!!!
