This is a quadratic equation in standard form. We can solve it using the quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a
In this case, a = 4, b = -12, and c = 9. Substituting these values into the quadratic formula, we get:
x = (-(-12) ± √((-12)^2 - 4(4)(9))) / (2*4)
x = (12 ± √(144 - 144)) / 8
x = (12 ± 0) / 8
x = 12 / 8 = 1.5
x = -12 / 8 = -1.5
Therefore, the conclusion is that
