Solution for (b+3)(b-12)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(b + 3)(b + -12) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(3 + b)(b + -12) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(3 + b)(-12 + b) = 0

Multiply (3 + b) * (-12 + b)
(3(-12 + b) + b(-12 + b)) = 0
((-12 * 3 + b * 3) + b(-12 + b)) = 0
((-36 + 3b) + b(-12 + b)) = 0
(-36 + 3b + (-12 * b + b * b)) = 0
(-36 + 3b + (-12b + b2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 3b + -12b = -9b
(-36 + -9b + b2) = 0
