Answer:
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = 12 (multiply the binomials)
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6 = 12
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6-12 = 0 (add the like term and bring the positive 12 to the other side which makes it negative)
x² + 5x + 6 = 0
Using the snowflake method - (finding the factors of 6 that adds/subtracts to give you 5).
This method will give you the factors (x + 6)(x - 1)
ZERO PROPERTY RULE:
(x + 6) = 0
x = -6
(x - 1) = 0
x = 1
The two solutions to the equation are -6 and 1.
