We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

m^2+4m-96=0

a = 1; b = 4; c = -96;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·1·(-96)
Δ = 400
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{400}=20$
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-20}{2*1}=\frac{-24}{2}
=-12
$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+20}{2*1}=\frac{16}{2}
=8
