3y2+5y=12

Solution for 3y2+5y=12 equation:

3y^2+5y=12

We move all terms to the left:

3y^2+5y-(12)=0

a = 3; b = 5; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·3·(-12)
Δ = 169
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{169}=13$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-13}{2*3}=\frac{-18}{6}
=-3
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+13}{2*3}=\frac{8}{6}
=1+1/3
