The function is:
f ( x ) = x² - x - 72
This is a quatdratic function. So we can find the zeroes of the function with the formula:
x 1/2 = ( - b +/- √(b² - 4 ac) ) / ( 2a )
And we have: a = 1, b = - 1 and c = - 72
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √((-1)² - 4 · 1· ( - 72 )) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √( 1 + 288 ) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √289 ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- 17 ) / 2
x 1 = ( 1 - 17 ) 2 = - 16 / 2 = - 8
x 2 = ( 1 + 17 ) / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9
Answer: The zeroes are - 8 and 9.

Answer:
x = -119/3 = -39 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(128 +7x- 12) = (4x - 3)
Combine like terms
(116 +7x) = (4x - 3)
Subtract 4x from each side
116 +7x-4x=4x-4x-3
116 +3x = -3
Subtract 116 from each side
116-116 +3x = -3-116
3x = -119
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = -119/3
x = -119/3
x = -39 2/3
