Answer:

Our solutions are x= -7 , x=6

Explanation:

x²+x-30=12

First we calculate the constants:

x²+x-30-12=0

x²+x-42=0

Now split the middle term:

x²+7x-6x-42=0

x(x+7)-6(x+7)=0

(x+7)(x-6)=0

As we know that:

a.b=0

⇒either a=0 or b=0

(x+7)=0 , (x-6)=0

x=0-7 , x=0+6

x= -7 , x=6

So our solutions are x= -7 , x=6....
