We calculate terms in parentheses: +(-(-3x1)/(3(12x+21)*4(20x-32))), so:

-(-3x1)/(3(12x+21)*4(20x-32))

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(-3x)/(3(12x+21)*4(20x-32))

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-(-3x)

We get rid of parentheses

3x

Back to the equation:

+(3x)


a = 4; b = 3; c = -17;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 32-4·4·(-17)
Δ = 281
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-\sqrt{281}}{2*4}=\frac{-3-\sqrt{281}}{8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+\sqrt{281}}{2*4}=\frac{-3+\sqrt{281}}{8}
