4x+(-2x)-12*8x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-96x^2+4x+(-2x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-96x^2+4x-2x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-96x^2+2x=0

a = -96; b = 2; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·(-96)·0
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-2}{2*-96}=\frac{-4}{-192}
=1/48
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2}{2*-96}=\frac{0}{-192}
=0
