We multiply parentheses
2x^2+4x-12=0
a = 2; b = 4; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·2·(-12)
Δ = 112
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{112}=\sqrt{16*7}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{7}=4\sqrt{7}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-4\sqrt{7}}{2*2}=\frac{-4-4\sqrt{7}}{4} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+4\sqrt{7}}{2*2}=\frac{-4+4\sqrt{7}}{4} $
