Sure! To solve for X, we need to simplify the equation and then solve for X.

Given equation: 7x^2 + 14x + 12 = -8x^2 + 20

Combine like terms:
7x^2 + 14x + 12 + 8x^2 - 20 = 0
15x^2 + 14x - 8 = 0

Now, we can use the quadratic formula to solve for X, which is: x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

In the equation 15x^2 + 14x - 8 = 0, a = 15, b = 14, c = -8

Substitute these values into the quadratic formula:
x = (-14 ± sqrt(14^2 - 4*15*(-8))) / 2*15
x = (-14 ± sqrt(196 + 480)) / 30
x = (-14 ± sqrt(676)) / 30
x = (-14 ± 26) / 30

Now we calculate both solutions:
x1 = (-14 + 26) / 30 = 12 / 30 = 0.4
x2 = (-14 - 26) / 30 = -40 / 30 = -1.33

Therefore, the solutions for X are X = -0.4, -1.33.
