You have come to the correct place if you are looking to solve the quadratic equation negative 12x squared minus 51x minus 12 equals 0, also known as -12x² - 51x - 12 = 0. Below, we walk you through how to find the answer.
To find the two possible answers to -12x^2 - 51x - 12 = 0, we will start by rewriting the equation in factored form. Then, we will create two separate equations that we can use to solve -12x² - 51x - 12 = 0.
Below is negative 12x squared minus 51x minus 12 in factored form. As you can see, -12x² - 51x - 12 has been grouped into two sets of parentheses.
-(12x + 3)(x + 4)
Next, we set each set of parentheses equal to 0 and solve for x to get the two answers to -12x^2 - 51x - 12 = 0.
(12x + 3) = 0
x1 = -1/4
(x + 4) = 0
x2 = -4
