what are the roots of the x in the equation (x+2)(x-2)=12? A) 2,-2 B) 4, -4 C) -2,-2 D) -4,-4

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Its C

OpenStudy (ccswims):

I meant D**

OpenStudy (ccswims):

You can do this by simply interpreting the answers into the equation. (-4 +2) (-4 - 2) = (-2)(-6) = 12

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Or you could've done it like... (x + 2) (x - 2) .... 2 * -2 = -4 ... x = -4
