ANSWER

2x-3=0

and

x+4=0

EXPLANATION

Given that:

[tex]2 {x}^{2} + 5x - 12 = (2x - 3)(x + 4)[/tex]

Then to find roots of

[tex]2 {x}^{2} + 5x - 12 = 0[/tex]

is the same as finding the roots of

[tex](2x - 3)(x + 4) = 0[/tex]

By the zero product property, we must have either,

[tex]2x - 3 = 0 \: or \: x + 4 = 0[/tex]

Hence the equations that must be solved to find the roots are:

2x-3=0

and

x+4=0
