Correct equation is;

x³ - 7x² + 4x + 12 = 0

Answer:

All the real solutions are -1, 2 and 6

Explanation:

The x-intercept of x³ - 7x² + 4x + 12 = 0 will occur where y is zero. This is where the curve crosses the x-axis on the graph of this function.

Now, I have plotted a graph of this function and attached it.

From the attached image, the curve crosses the x - axis at the points, x = -1, x = 2, x = 6.

Therefore all the real solutions are -1, 2 and 6
