(+m^2+6m-8m-48)-3=0
We get rid of parentheses
m^2+6m-8m-48-3=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
m^2-2m-51=0
a = 1; b = -2; c = -51;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·1·(-51)
Δ = 208
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{208}=\sqrt{16*13}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{13}=4\sqrt{13}$
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-4\sqrt{13}}{2*1}=\frac{2-4\sqrt{13}}{2} $
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+4\sqrt{13}}{2*1}=\frac{2+4\sqrt{13}}{2} $
