This is now in the form

a = 1
b = 7
c = -12

The answers are:

and

You can check these answers by substituting for x in the
equation, but it's tough algebra. Instead, you can
evaluate and find the roots
and

Not exact due to rounding-off errors,
but you get the idea

Solve using the quadratic formula:
It would help if you were to put your equation into the standard form for quadratic equations:
Add 7x to both sides.
Now subtract 12 from both sides.
So now you can see that a = 1, b = 7 and c = -12.
Applying the quadratic formula, you get:
Simplify this.

The solutions are:
and
