\[ 12 - 4x + 18 = 36 + 4x + 18 - 6x \]
\[ 30 - 4x = 54 - 2x \]
\[ -4x + 2x = 54 - 30 \]
\[ -2x = 24 \]
\[ x = \frac{24}{-2} = -12 \]
\[ D = b^2 - 4ac = (-8)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 7 = 64 - 28 = 36 \]
\[ x_1 = \frac{-b + \sqrt{D}}{2a} = \frac{8 + 6}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7 \]
\[ x_2 = \frac{-b - \sqrt{D}}{2a} = \frac{8 - 6}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \]
Ответ: 1) \( x = -12 \); 2) \( x_1 = 7, x_2 = 1 \).
