Answer:

The equation x²+12x+43=0 is a quadratic equation that can be solved by factoring or using the quadratic formula.

Factoring the equation:

x²+12x+43=(x+7)(x+6)=0

x+7=0 or x+6=0

x=-7 and x=-6

Therefore, the solutions for the equation are x=-7 and x=-6.

Alternatively, you can use the quadratic formula:

x = (-b± √(b²-4ac))/2a

Where a=1, b=12, c=43

x = (-12± √(12²-4143))/2*1

x = (-12± √(144-172))/2

x = (-12± √(-28))/2

x = (-12± i*√28)/2

x = (-12+ i2√7)/2 or x = (-12- i2√7)/2

These solutions are complex numbers, x = (-6+2i√7) or x = (-6-2i√7)
