Solve for x:
(3x + 12)(3x + 4) = (4x^2 + 8x + 18x^2)/(2x).

Open up paranthesis by FOILing: 9x^2 + 36x + 12x + 48 = (4x^2 + 8x + 18x^2)/2x

Combine like terms: 9x^2 + 48x + 48 = (22x^2 + 8x)/2x

Factor out top and bottom by 2x, then cancel terms: (22x^2 + 8x)/2x = 2x(11x + 4)/2x = 11x + 4

9x^2 + 48x + 48 = 11x + 4

Combine like terms: 9x^2 + 37x + 44 = 0

Use quadratic formula: 37±372(4)(9)(44)18 = 37±1369158418 = 37±i21518 = x
