- 12*x  - 10*x - 9 = 0
$$\left(- 12 x^{2} - 10 x\right) - 9 = 0$$
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -12$$
$$b = -10$$
$$c = -9$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-10)^2 - 4 * (-12) * (-9) = -332

Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = - \frac{5}{12} - \frac{\sqrt{83} i}{12}$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{5}{12} + \frac{\sqrt{83} i}{12}$$
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$\left(- 12 x^{2} - 10 x\right) - 9 = 0$$
of
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$$
as reduced quadratic equation
$$x^{2} + \frac{b x}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0$$
$$x^{2} + \frac{5 x}{6} + \frac{3}{4} = 0$$
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = \frac{5}{6}$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = \frac{3}{4}$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - \frac{5}{6}$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = \frac{3}{4}$$
