Solve x2 + 4x − 12 = 0.
x = 2, x = −6
x = −2, x = −6
x = 3, x = −4
x = −3, x = 4

what do you think?

Do you need help solving it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes >_>
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you know how to start?
Mehek (mehek14):
first factor x2 + 4x − 12

Have you learned the box method?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think its B but I could be wrong or right ;^)
Mehek (mehek14):
B is wrong
Mehek (mehek14):
close but wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
In that case it must be A since its the second closest

when you factor x2 + 4x -12 you get
(x + 6) • (x - 2)
so x + 6 = 0
and
x - 2 = 0
solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lol are you just going to guess all of them?
Mehek (mehek14):
solve for x when
x + 6 = 0
x - 2 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No it wasn't my plan @200205650
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Alright well mehek helped with the factoring step. so now you just need to solve for x.
