To factorize x² + x - 12, we need to find two numbers that multiply to -12 and add up to 1 (the coefficient of the x term).
The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are 4 and -3.
Therefore, we can rewrite x² + x - 12 as:
x² + 4x - 3x - 12
Now, we can factor out the highest common factor (HCF) of the two terms:
x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4)
Now, we can factor out the common binomial factor:
(x - 3)(x + 4)
So, the factorization of x² + x - 12 is (x - 3)(x + 4).

The HCF (highest common factor) of x² and x is x.
Factoring out the HCF, we get:
```
x² - x - 12
= x(x - 1) - 12
```
