To solve the equation 3d2 + 12d = 0, we can start by factoring out the common term.
We notice that both terms on the left side of the equation include a factor of d. Thus, we can factor the equation as follows:
3d(d + 4) = 0
Now, we set each factor equal to zero:
- 3d = 0
- d + 4 = 0
From the first factor, we can solve for d:
d = 0
From the second factor, we solve:
d = -4
Therefore, the solutions to the equation 3d2 + 12d = 0 are:
- d = 0
- d = -4
This means that the values of d that satisfy the original equation are 0 and -4.
