Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x squared plus 12 is equal to 7 x

Rewrite the equation with zero on one side: x² − 7x + 12 = 0. Factor the quadratic as (x − 3)(x − 4) = 0. By the zero product property, either x − 3 = 0 or x − 4 = 0, so x = 3 or x = 4. This matches choice A, “x is equal to 3 or x is equal to 4.”
