x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(+1/5)x-(2x+1)+12=0

We multiply parentheses

-x^2-(2x+1)+12=0

We get rid of parentheses

-x^2-2x-1+12=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x^2-2x+11=0

a = -1; b = -2; c = +11;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·(-1)·11
Δ = 48
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{48}=\sqrt{16*3}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{3}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-4\sqrt{3}}{2*-1}=\frac{2-4\sqrt{3}}{-2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+4\sqrt{3}}{2*-1}=\frac{2+4\sqrt{3}}{-2}
