x = 6
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(12 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
12 + x = 0

Solving
12 + x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + x = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + x = 0 + -12
x = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
x = -12

Simplifying
x = -12
Solution
x = {6, -12}
