Question

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x^2 + x -30=12

Answer 1

A on edge:)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The solutions are x = -7, 6.

Explanation:

To find the solutions, move everything to one side of the equation so the equation is equal to 0. Then factor. Set the factors equal to 0 and solve for x.

`x^2 + x - 30 = 12\\x^2 + x -42=0\\(x+7)(x-6) = 0`

x+7 = 0

x = -7

and

x-6 = 0

x = 6

The solutions are x = -7, 6.
