mathmale · Answer

y + 12 = x2 + x  would be better expressed as y + 12 = x^2 + x:  the ^ symbol denotes exponentiation.

If you want to find the x=intercepts, let y=0 and solve for x.  Mind doing that and sharing your results?

If you want the y-intercept, let x=0 and find y by solving the resulting equation.

If you merely want to check your results, substitute the coordinates of the 2 points you've found back into the original equation.  Is that equation now true?  If so, you've got a solution.  If not, it's back to the drawing board.
