Answer 2

x = -6 and x = 1

Explanation:

Given the equation (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12

Equate to zero;

(x + 2) (x + 3) - 12 = 0

Expand

x^2+3x+2x+6-12 = 0

x^2+5x - 6 = 0

Factorize

x^2 + 6x - x - 6 = 0

x(x+6)-1(x+6) = 0

(x+6)(x-1) = 0

x+6 = 0 and x -1 = 0

x = -6 and x = 1

Hence the zeros are x = -6 and x = 1
