Step-by-step explanation

The general form of a quadratic equation is:


y=ax^2+bx+c.

We must take to the general form the following equation:


3y+6x=9x^2-12.

1) First, we pass the +6x at the left as -6x at the right:


3y=9x^2-6x-12.

2) Now, we divide both sides by 3 and distribute the division:


y=(9x^2-6x-12)/(3)=(9x^2)/(3)-(6x)/(3)-(12)/(3)=3x^2-2x-4.Answer
y=3x^2-2x-4
