Answer: (x-4)(x-3). x final solutions are: 4 and 3. Explanation:
A=3
B=-7
C= 4
A times C is 12
Since B=-7, then we have to find two factors of twelve, that also add up to -7. those factors are -4 and -3.
then we plug -4 and -3 into the factored solution. so, (x=-4) (x=-3)
it always has to be equal to zero when we solve for the x’s and we solve one at a time
when you solve x-4=0 it gives you 4
and when you solve x-3=0 it gives you 3
Hope this helps!!
