Correct Answer:

Percy is not correct because he tried to apply the zero product property to an equation that was not set equal to 0. He should have first subtracted 12 from both sides to get the equation in standard form, x^2 + 7x = 0. Then, he could factor it as x(x + 7) = 0. The correct solutions are x = 0 and x = -7.
