Answer:

C: [tex]x=-3[/tex] or [tex]x=4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation [tex]x^2-x-12=0[/tex] we need to factor it

We are looking for two numbers that when multiplied give -12 and when added give -x

This means that when factored, the equation would be [tex](x-4)(x+3)=0[/tex]

Now we can set each of these equal to 0, which means that at

[tex]x=-3[/tex] and [tex]x=4[/tex] , the equation will equal 0
