Solution for (3x-2)(x+4)=12x equation:

(3x-2)(x+4)=12x

We move all terms to the left:

(3x-2)(x+4)-(12x)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-12x+(3x-2)(x+4)=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(+3x^2+12x-2x-8)-12x=0

We get rid of parentheses

3x^2+12x-2x-12x-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3x^2-2x-8=0

a = 3; b = -2; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·3·(-8)
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-10}{2*3}=\frac{-8}{6}
=-1+1/3
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+10}{2*3}=\frac{12}{6}
=2
