Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·12·0
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-1}{2*12}=\frac{-2}{24}
=-1/12
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+1}{2*12}=\frac{0}{24}
=0
