48x^2+4x+(-6x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

48x^2+4x-6x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

48x^2-2x=0

a = 48; b = -2; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·48·0
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-2}{2*48}=\frac{0}{96}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+2}{2*48}=\frac{4}{96}
=1/24
