are you finding for x??if you are, then
this is the solution:
8x^2 + 4x -12 = 0 (devide both sides by 4)
2x^2 + x -3 = 0 (then factor out)
(2x+3)(x-1)=0 (then equate both equation to 0)
2x+3=0 and x+1=0 (solve for x using both equations)
2x+3=0
2x=-3
x= -3/2
x-1=0
x=1
therefore, x is equal to -3/2 and 1
