    6 and - 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x^2-4x-12

    set up equal to zero

    x^2-4x-12=0

    lets factor:

    (x-6) (x+2) = 0

    x-6=0

    x=6

    or

    x+2=0

    x=-2

    x=6 x=-2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x^2-4x-12 = 0

    Factor

    What two numbers multiply to - 12 and add to - 4

    -6*2 = - 12

    -6+2 = - 4

    (x-6) (x+2) = 0

    Using the zero product property

    (x-6) = 0 x+2 = 0

    x=6 x=-2
