Question

Solve for c in this equation x^2-x=12

Answer 1

x=-3; x=4

Explanation:

first, you should bring 12 to the other side, so subtract both sides by 12.

it would look like this:

x^2 - x - 12 = 0

next, you want to factor it out.

it would become

(x+3)(x-4) = 0

then, you can remove the parenthesis and create two separate equations:

x+3 = 0 ; x-4 = 0

then solve for x for both equations.

x=-3; x=4

hope this helped!! lmk if you have any questions about my work.
