So if we can just get rid of the () after adding:

48/2(12)=
48/2x12

Then that means that the quadratic equation:
x=-b+or- the square root of b^-4(a)(c)/2(a)

Then why don't we divide everything by 2 in this case and then multiply by a? In this case we could remove the a from the () and write 2 x a, but it still has to be done separately from the rest of the problem.
