X*(x+4)=12

Solution for X*(x+4)=12 equation:

X*(X+4)=12

We move all terms to the left:

X*(X+4)-(12)=0

We multiply parentheses

X^2+4X-12=0

a = 1; b = 4; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·1·(-12)
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-8}{2*1}=\frac{-12}{2}
=-6
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+8}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
