\bf \stackrel{\textit{solving for \underline{x}}}{12x^2-48=0\implies 12x^2=48\implies x^2=\cfrac{48}{12}\implies x^2=4} \\\\\\ x=\pm\sqrt{4}\implies x=\pm 2

All three methods are easy and effective. Here's solving the equation using all three methods.

First Option:

12x^2-48=0\\ 12x^2=48\\ x^2=4\\ x=+/-\sqrt{4} \\ x=2,-2

Third Option (Remember that the equation for the quadratic formula is x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a},\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} , with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant):

x=\frac{-0+\sqrt{0^2-4*12*(-48)}}{2*12},\frac{-0-\sqrt{0^2-4*12*(-48)}}{2*12}\\\\ x=\frac{-0+\sqrt{2304}}{24},\frac{-0-\sqrt{2304}}{24}\\ \\ x=\frac{48}{24},\frac{-48}{24}\\\\ x=2,-2

Fourth Option:

12x^2-48=0\\12(x^2-4)=0 \\ 12(x+2)(x-2)=0\\ \\ x+2=0\\ x=-2\\ \\ x-2=0\\ x=2

Answer: d (A,B) = 9

Step-by-step explanation: d(A,B) = √(xB - xA)^2 + (yB - yA)^2

                                              d(A,B) = √(8-(-1))^2 + (-3 - (-3))^2

                                              d(A,B) = √81 + 0    

                                              d(A,B) = 9
