That trinomial can't be factored. You would have to complete the square to factor it and even then your answer would be an imaginary number. 

x² + x + 12 = 0
x² + x = - 12
x² + x + 1/4 = - 12 + 1/4
x² + x + 1/4 = - 11 3/4
x² + x + 1/4 = - 47/4

(x + 1/2)² = - 47/4 
x + 1/2 = +/- √(- 47/4) 
x + 1/2 = +/- \frac{47}{4}i

x = 1/2 +/- \frac{47}{4}i

If the constant was a negative, it would be factor-able (is that a word?).

Simplify the expression. (8 + 7a) + 4 7a
agasfer [191]
For this one I'm going to assume that 4 7a means 4 * 7a...

(8 + 7a) + 4 * 7a =
8 + 7a + 28a =
8 + 35a

If I read it wrong and 4 7a is actually 47a then...

(8 + 7a) + 47a =
8 + 54a =
2(4 + 27a)
