use the zero product property to solve for x.
$x(x - 12)=0$
$x = 0$ or $x = 12$
$x = 0$ or $x = -12$
$x = 2\sqrt{3}$
$x = -12$

Explanation:

Step1: Apply zero product property

Set each factor equal to 0:
$x=0$ or $x-12=0$

Step2: Solve for x in second equation

Isolate x by adding 12 to both sides:
$x-12+12=0+12 \implies x=12$

Answer:

$x=0$ or $x=12$ (corresponding to the first option)
