Δ = 2256
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{2256}=\sqrt{16*141}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{141}=4\sqrt{141}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(48)-4\sqrt{141}}{2*-12}=\frac{-48-4\sqrt{141}}{-24} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(48)+4\sqrt{141}}{2*-12}=\frac{-48+4\sqrt{141}}{-24} $
