You have come to the correct place if you are looking to solve the quadratic equation negative 7x squared minus 85x minus 12 equals 0, also known as -7x² - 85x - 12 = 0. Below, we walk you through how to find the answer.
To find the two possible answers to -7x^2 - 85x - 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 -7x² - 85x - 12 = 0.
Below is negative 7x squared minus 85x minus 12 in factored form. As you can see, -7x² - 85x - 12 has been grouped into two sets of parentheses.
-(7x + 1)(x + 12)
Next, we set each set of parentheses equal to 0 and solve for x to get the two answers to -7x^2 - 85x - 12 = 0.
(7x + 1) = 0
x1 = -1/7
(x + 12) = 0
x2 = -12
