8x^2-3x-12=-3

Solution for 8x^2-3x-12=-3 equation:

8x^2-3x-12=-3

We move all terms to the left:

8x^2-3x-12-(-3)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

8x^2-3x-9=0

a = 8; b = -3; c = -9;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -32-4·8·(-9)
Δ = 297
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{297}=\sqrt{9*33}=\sqrt{9}*\sqrt{33}=3\sqrt{33}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)-3\sqrt{33}}{2*8}=\frac{3-3\sqrt{33}}{16}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)+3\sqrt{33}}{2*8}=\frac{3+3\sqrt{33}}{16}
