Take x as common factor
x(x^2-x -12) = 0
x = 0
x^2 -x -12 = 0
Factorize the above trinomial equation by middle term factorization
x^2 -4x +3x -12 =0
x(x-4) +3(x-4) = 0 (taking common factor)
(x+3)(x-4) = 0 (factors of the trinomial equation)
x+3 = 0
x+3-3 = 0-3
x = -3
x-4 = 0
x-4+4 = 0+4
x = 4
Hence x = 0 , -3, 4 is the solution for the above polynomial equation
