X^2+17x+72=12
PLEASE HELP QUICKLY THIS IS A TEST
(Btw this is Plato)

Assuming you are trying to find the values of x:

x^2+17x+72=12

             -12  -12

x^2+17x+60=0

checking factors 5, 12:

5*12=60, 5+12=17

(x+5)(x+12)=0

set both parts = to 0:

x+5=0

x=-5

x+12=0

x=-12

x=-12, -5

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3

x=-7

step-by-step explanation:

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7
