m*m-4m-12=0

Solution for m*m-4m-12=0 equation:

m*m-4m-12=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-4m+m*m-12=0

Wy multiply elements

m^2-4m-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:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

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