2m^2+2m=12

Solution for 2m^2+2m=12 equation:

2m^2+2m=12

We move all terms to the left:

2m^2+2m-(12)=0

a = 2; b = 2; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·2·(-12)
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-10}{2*2}=\frac{-12}{4}
=-3
$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+10}{2*2}=\frac{8}{4}
=2
