Answer:The answer to your question is: ( x + 6 ) ( x - 2 )Step-by-step explanation: Factor x² + 4x - 12 = 0 Find two numbers that added gives +4 and if we multiply them get -12We can find these numbers by decomposing -12 in its prime factors 12 2 6 2 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 3 3 now combine the numbers to get -12 and + 4 1 2 and 2 x 3 = 6 and 2 x 6 = 12Then ( x + 6 ) ( x - 2 )
