{x}^{2}   + 4x - 12 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  + 4x + 4 - 4 - 12  = 0\\   {(x + 2)}^{2}  - 16 = 0 \\ x =   -   +  \sqrt{16}  - 2 \\ x =   + \:  or - 4 - 2 \\ x =  - 6 \:  \: x = 2
- subtract the 12 from both sides so that it becomes the last constant term in the quadratic equation which should now equal 0.
- take the 4x
- half the coefficient of 4 (2)
- square it (4)
- add it to the equation (+4)
- subtract it from the equation (-4)
- factorise the square (x+2)^2 expands to (x^2 + 4x + 2) as {a+b}^2={a^2 + ab + ba + b^2}
- now the equation is in turning point form.
- to find x, add 16 and square root 16 and (x+2)
- subtract 2 from positive or negative 4 (as -4^2 and 4^2 both equal 16).
- This should give you two values for x, -6 and 2.


I really hope that this helped :)

(1/2)/2=3/x
we can cross multiply, aka multiply both sides by 2x
(1/2)x=2*3
(1/2)x=6
times 2/1 both sides
x=12

Harry is trying to solve the equation y = 2x^2 − x − 6 using the quadratic formula. He has made an error in one of the steps bel
Bond [772]
He made a mistake in step #2. It seemed to be a trivial mistake because it involved signs, but it still had a great impact. Since step#2, his solution was already wrong.

Instead of
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = 1 + 48 = 49

What he did is
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = -1 + 48 = 47
