Question

12x sqaured minus 11x equals 15

Answer 1

I assume your problem is this:

12x^2 - 11x = 15

Note: you can use ^ to mean raised to the power of, such as x^2 means x raised to the power of 2 or x squared.

First, set the equation equal to 0.

12x^2 - 11x - 15 = 0

Next, try to factor:

(4x + 3)(3x - 5) = 0

Then set each factor equal to 0:

(4x + 3) = 0

(3x - 5) = 0

Solve each equation for x. Those solutions will be your two possible answers.

I hope this will help.
