To determine which value is in the solution set of the quadratic equation \(x^2 + 20x = 69\), we first rearrange the equation to standard form:
\[ x^2 + 20x - 69 = 0 \]
Next, we will evaluate this equation for the given values: \(x = -23\), \(x = 0\), and \(x = 12\).
-
For \(x = -23\): \[ (-23)^2 + 20(-23) - 69 = 529 - 460 - 69 = 0 \] This is a true statement.
-
For \(x = 0\): \[ (0)^2 + 20(0) - 69 = 0 - 69 = -69 \] This is not a true statement.
-
For \(x = 12\): \[ (12)^2 + 20(12) - 69 = 144 + 240 - 69 = 315 \] This is not a true statement.
After evaluating all three values, we find only \(x = -23\) results in the equation being equal to zero.
Thus, the answer is:
Only \(x = -23\) is in the solution set.
