x  + 5*x + 12 = 0
(x2+5x)+12=0\left(x^{2} + 5 x\right) + 12 = 0
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
x1=Db2ax_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
x2=Db2ax_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
a=1a = 1
b=5b = 5
c=12c = 12
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(5)^2 - 4 * (1) * (12) = -23

Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
x1=52+23i2x_{1} = - \frac{5}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{23} i}{2}
x2=5223i2x_{2} = - \frac{5}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{23} i}{2}
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
px+q+x2=0p x + q + x^{2} = 0
where
p=bap = \frac{b}{a}
p=5p = 5
q=caq = \frac{c}{a}
q=12q = 12
Vieta Formulas
x1+x2=px_{1} + x_{2} = - p
x1x2=qx_{1} x_{2} = q
x1+x2=5x_{1} + x_{2} = -5
x1x2=12x_{1} x_{2} = 12
