I’d use the app Socratic, the apps always factors the quadratic formula and it gives you the steps on how it done. 1. X^2+7x+12=0 Identify a,b, and c. Which x^2 is a, 7 is b and c is 12. Find two numbers that multiply together to equal c which is 12 which is 3•4 And add two numbers that equal to b which is 7 which is 3+4 = (x+3)(x+4)=0 Set each factor to zero X+3=0 = -3 X+4=0 =-4
