| Question 667429:  |x^2+x|=12
 Answer by stanbon(75887)
      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! |x^2+x|=12 ------
 x^2+x = 12 or x^2+x = -12
 -----
 Rearrange:
 x^2 + x -12 = 0 or x^2 + x + 12 = 0
 (x+4)(x-3) = 0 or x = [-1+-sqrt(1-4*12)]/2
 ---
 x = -4 or x = 3 are the Rational solutions
