Hi,
12x^2 - 11x =5    ||  Set to zero and follow the same quadratic formula format from there
12x^2 - 11x -5 = 0
{{{x = (-b +- sqrt( b^2-4*a*c ))/(2*a) }}} 
{{{x = (11 +- sqrt( 121-4*12*(-5) ))/24 }}}
{{{x = (11 +- sqrt(361))/24 }}}
 {{{x = (11 +- 19)/24 }}} 
   x = 30/24 = 5/4  or  x = -8/24 = -1/3
use Your calculator if decimal form is requested
