3a^2+14a-8=12a Help me to solve, pls

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

first: take away \(12a\) from both sides of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can't take away 12a from both sides yet because that would leave nothing on one side... but you do need combine like terms. I'd add 8 to both sides, then subtract 12a from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a = -2 and a =4/3
