i need an explanation of the steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, at first you plug in your numbers into the quadratic formula. \[x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4(a)(c)} }{2(a)}\] where do you get a b c ? compare your equation \[3x^2-5x-12=0\] to the form, \[ax^2+bx+c=0\]\[\color{red} { 3 } x^2\color{red} { -5 }x\color{red} { -12 } =0\] can you plug in the numbers ?
