Question

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x2 + 12 = 7x.

Answer 1

Are u solving for x? And is the “x2” x to the power of 2 or is it 2x

Answer 2

X = 3 or x = 4

Given
x² + 12 = 7x ( subtract 7x from both sides )
x² - 7x + 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero ( zero product property ) and solve for x
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
