• x = 3/2, 0

• x = 4

• Yes, she factored correctly and then used the zero product property

• No, she didn't factor correctly so the rest of her work is wrong.

• No, she did not set the equation equal to zero before factoring.

• Yes, she answered it correctly.

• A.

  Divide both sides f the equation by 3.

• B.

  Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

• C.

  Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.

• D.

  Find two values with a sum of 5 and a product of 12.
