(x-4)(x-8)=12

Solution for (x-4)(x-8)=12 equation:

(x-4)(x-8)=12

We move all terms to the left:

(x-4)(x-8)-(12)=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(+x^2-8x-4x+32)-12=0

We get rid of parentheses

x^2-8x-4x+32-12=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-12x+20=0

a = 1; b = -12; c = +20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·1·20
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{-(-12)-8}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+8}{2*1}=\frac{20}{2}
=10
