Answer:

{x +4} {x+3} =0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given as :

x² + 7x + 12 =0

Find multiples of 12 that can add to give +12 ------3 * 4

The equation can then be written as;

x² + 3x + 4x + 12 = 0  ------factorize

x{ x + 3 } + 4 { x +3 } = 0

{x+4 } {x + 3} = 0

Answer : {x +4} {x+3} =0
