I help! solve 12x^2+54x=-42

Hi!

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

12x^2 + 54x = −42

Step 1: Subtract -42 from both sides.

12x^2 + 54x − (−42) = − 42 − (−42)

12x^2 + 54x + 42 = 0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

6(2x + 7)(x + 1) = 0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

2x + 7 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

You have two answers.

x = −7/2 or x = −1

Hope this helps!
