Answer 1

x²-7x+12

Explanation:

When doing these types of problems, you have to multiply each term with each other.

Lets take a look at this.

We have to multiply each term with each other, so x times x =x²

x times -3=-3x

x times -4=-4x

-3 times -4=12

now we add them all up to get

x²-7x+12

Answer 2

x^2 -7x + 12

Explanation:

(x-3) (x-4)

Expand

x^2 -3x - 4x + 12

Simplify

x^2 -7x + 12

Hope that helps!
