We get rid of parentheses

-12a^2-3a-4a=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-12a^2-7a=0

a = -12; b = -7; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -72-4·(-12)·0
Δ = 49
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{49}=7$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)-7}{2*-12}=\frac{0}{-24}
=0
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)+7}{2*-12}=\frac{14}{-24}
=-7/12
