2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
(2x + 3)(x - 4) = 0
2x+3 = 0; x = -3/2
x - 4 = 0; x =4
answer
x = 4 and x = -3/2

Hey there!

Here are the steps to solve this equation by factoring...

2x² - 5x - 12 = 0
(2x + 3)(x - 4) = 0

2x + 3 = 0                    x - 4 = 0
2x = -3                         x = 4
x = -3/2


I hope this helps! ^__^
