5a^2=12a-4

Solution for 5a^2=12a-4 equation:

5a^2=12a-4

We move all terms to the left:

5a^2-(12a-4)=0

We get rid of parentheses

5a^2-12a+4=0

a = 5; b = -12; c = +4;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·5·4
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-8}{2*5}=\frac{4}{10}
=2/5
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+8}{2*5}=\frac{20}{10}
=2
