Question 757726
|x^2+x|=12
Solve for x. 
--------------

Tip: |a| = b when a = b or a = -b

In your case,

x^2 + x = 12 or x^2 + x = -12

I'll solve the first case for you:

x^2 + x = 12

x^2 + x - 12 = 0

(x + 4)(x - 3) = 0

x + 4 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

x = - 4 or x = 3

You will solve the second case same as above.

Hope it helps! John
