i am going to put the all math work for the answer of this question, but if you need an explanation for how i got each step let me know and i will provide that for you x^2 +10x + 12 = 36 x^2 + 10x + 12 - 36 = 0 x^2 +12x - 2x - 24 = 0 x(x + 12) - 2(x +12) = 0 (x + 12) x (x - 2) = 0 x + 12 = 0 x - 2 = 0 x = -12 x = 2 your answer for the first x is x = -12, and your answer for the second x will be x = 2Β let me know if you have any further questions :)
