Can somebody tell me what to do next for solving polynomial equations?
x^3 - 3x^2 -4x + 12= 0
I got the factors of 12 and i used 2.
(x+2) (x^2 + x + 12)=0
What do I do next?

I used synthetic division to get (x+2)(x^2 + x + 12)=0
Factor x^2+x+12 now
(x+4)(x+3)=0
therefore, (x+2)(x+4)(x+3)=0?
x= -2, -4, -3?
therefore, (x+2)(x+4)(x+3)=0?
x= -2, -4, -3?
(x+3)(x+5)
