Uhm it's either 6x-7x=12 which be 6x-7x=-1x then divide -1 by -1x and 12 and you should get x=-12 or it would be 9x-7x which equals 2x then divide 2 by 2x and 12 and you should get x=6

Hold on let me check

Okay so it's the second one. It's 9x-7x=12 so 9x-7x=2x then 2x is divided by 2 cross the twos out and divide 2 by 12 and you should get x= 6

Looks like you might need to use the quadratic formula: \[\Large x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac~}}{2a} \] where a, b, and c are constants associated with your polynomial \(\large 3x^2-7x-12=0\) so a= 3, b = -7 and c = -12 \[\Large x= \frac{-(-7) \pm \sqrt{(-7)^2 - 4 (3)(-12)~}}{2(3)} \]

explained very nice ,so just a little ATTENTION please ,because in the formula there are + and - signs between -b and square root so this mean that will result two roots so in this way please write x_1,2 = ... thank you in advance
