a=x^2+4
(x^2+4)^2+32=12x^2+48
12x^2+48=12(x^2+4)
(x^2+4)^2+32=12(x^2+4)
a^2+32=12a
subtract 12a from both sides
a^2-12a+32=0
factor
(a-4)(a-8)=0
set each to zero
a-4=0
a=4
a-8=0
a=8
a=4 or 8
a=x^2+4
8=x^2+4 and
4=x^2+4
subtract 4
4=x^2
0=x^2
square root
+/-2=x
0=x
x=-2,0,2
ax^2+bx+c=0
coefficient of the a term is 1
