Answer:

x=-5/3 and x= 1/4

Explanation:

Subtract 5 to both sides and then get 12x^2+17x-5=0. Then rewrite the difference for 17x so 20x-3x. Your equation will look like this 12x^2+20x-3-5=0. Now factor 4x out of 12x² ad 20x and get 4x(3x+5). Now factor 3x+5 ad get (4x-1). Now set (3x+5)=0 and (4x-1)=0 and now you will get -5/3 and 1/4.
