Answer:

x = 4 and x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ x² + x = 12

⇒ x² + x - 12 = 0

⇒ x² + 3x - 4x - 12 = 0

⇒ x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) = 0

⇒ (x - 4)(x + 3) = 0

⇒ x = 4 and x = -3

Hey there!

x^2 + x = 12

SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES

x^2 + x - 12 = 12 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT!
x^2 + x - 12 = 0

SET the FACTORS to EQUAL to 0

x - 3 = 0 OR x + 4 = 0

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 3 or x = -4


Therefore, the answer is:

x = 3 or x = -4


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
