In quadratic equations,
                                   a + b = -B
                                      ab = C
where a and b are the roots, B is the second term, and C is the constant.
Substituting,
                                  a + b = -12
                                      ab = 35
The values of a and b from the equation is -7 and -5. Thus, the lesser root is -7.
