4x(x-1)=12
We move all terms to the left:
4x(x-1)-(12)=0
We multiply parentheses
4x^2-4x-12=0
a = 4; b = -4; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·4·(-12)
Δ = 208
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{208}=\sqrt{16*13}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{13}=4\sqrt{13}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-4\sqrt{13}}{2*4}=\frac{4-4\sqrt{13}}{8} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+4\sqrt{13}}{2*4}=\frac{4+4\sqrt{13}}{8} $
