What are the solutions to the equation? x2−12x+36=4 enter your answers in the boxes. x1= x2=

The first step getting these answers is to make the equation equal to zero.  To do this, you subtract 4 from both sides.  After that, you would factor the following equation x^2 - 12x + 32 = 0,  To do this you would find number that when multiplied together give you 32 as well as add up to -12.  -4 and -8 are the answers that will give you this.  Rewrite the equation as (x + -4) (x + -8) = 0.  You need to see what numbers would give you zero in both problems.  They would be 4 and 8.  These are the 2 possible solutions.
