Answer:

  (d)  x = 3  or  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero product property can be used to find the solutions to a polynomial equation when it is written in factored form.

__

Your polynomial can be put in factored form like this:

  x² +12 = 7x . . . . . given

  x² -7x +12 = 0 . . . . . standard form

  (x -3)(x -4) = 0 . . . . . factored form*

  x = 3  or  x = 4 . . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero

_____

* The constants in the binomial factors must have a sum of -7 and a product of +12. It is often convenient to find them by listing factor pairs of 12:

  12 = (-1)(-12) = (-2)(-6) = (-3)(-4)

Negative factors are used because we know the sum must be negative. Both have the same sign so their product is positive. The sums of the pairs shown are -13, -8, -7. The last pair is what we're looking for.
