You can put this solution on YOUR website! 36)  try  36,  and  25 8) x(x+1)=12
 x^2+x-12=0
 (x+4)(x-3)=0
 x=  3,-4
 check
 3(4)=12  ok
 -4(-3)=12,,ok
 12)  x^2+6x+10=0
 use  quadratic  formula
 a=1,b=6,c=10
 x= ( -6=/-sqrt(6^2-4(1)(10))/2(1)
 x= (-6+/- sqrt(36-40))/2
 x=-3=/-i
 check
 (-3+i)^2+6(-3+i)+10=0
 9+i^2-6i+6i-18+10=0
 but  i^2=-1
 8-18+10=0,,,,ok
