Solve the following quadratic equation

x+12x+36 - 16

x = - 2, x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 12x + 36 = 16

Began by setting this quadratic equation to 0. To do this, in this equation you must subtract.

x^2+12x+20=0

Next, we plug this into the quadratic formula, where a in this case is 1 (there is nothing in front of x^2), b is equaled to 12 (there is a 12 as the coeefficient of 12x), and c is equaled to 20.

The quadratic formula is as goes:

(-b + - (this means plus or minus) √b^2-4ac) / (2a)

After pluggin in and simplifying, the answer is x = - 2 and x = - 10
