Solution for 2x-12=3x(x-12) equation:



2x-12=3x(x-12)
We move all terms to the left:
2x-12-(3x(x-12))=0
We calculate terms in parentheses: -(3x(x-12)), so:
3x(x-12)
We multiply parentheses
3x^2-36x
Back to the equation:
-(3x^2-36x)
We get rid of parentheses
-3x^2+2x+36x-12=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-3x^2+38x-12=0
a = -3; b = 38; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 382-4·(-3)·(-12)
Δ = 1300
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1300}=\sqrt{100*13}=\sqrt{100}*\sqrt{13}=10\sqrt{13}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(38)-10\sqrt{13}}{2*-3}=\frac{-38-10\sqrt{13}}{-6} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(38)+10\sqrt{13}}{2*-3}=\frac{-38+10\sqrt{13}}{-6} $
