Given,
⇒ a + 7 = 0 and b + 10 = 0
⇒ a = -7 and b = -10
Substituting value of a and b in 12x2 = ax - b,
⇒ 12x2 = (-7)x - (-10)
⇒ 12x2 = -7x + 10
⇒ 12x2 + 7x - 10 = 0
⇒ 12x2 + 15x - 8x - 10 = 0
⇒ 3x(4x + 5) - 2(4x + 5) = 0
⇒ (3x - 2)(4x + 5) = 0
⇒ 3x - 2 = 0 or 4x + 5 = 0 [Using Zero-product rule]
⇒ 3x = 2 or 4x = - 5
⇒ x = .
Hence, x = .
