If function and inverse be

Both will seem to be opposite and similar .
Look at the first one
It is showing like 1 is function and other one is its inverse(Attachment )
Hence 1st one is the answer
Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis
x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60
Combine like terms
x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0
Factor the equation
(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0
x= -12 and -4
