1. The problem is to rewrite the expression for $x$ given by
$$x=\frac{4(L+W)\pm \sqrt{[4(L+W)]^{2}-4(12)(LW)}}{2(12)}$$
into a proper, clear mathematical format.
2. This expression is a solution to a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:
$$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$
where $a=12$, $b=-4(L+W)$, and $c=LW$.
3. Notice the original formula has $4(L+W)$ in the numerator without a negative sign, but the quadratic formula requires $-b$, so $b$ should be $-4(L+W)$.
4. Rewrite the expression with correct signs:
$$x=\frac{-4(L+W) \pm \sqrt{[4(L+W)]^{2} - 4 \times 12 \times LW}}{2 \times 12}$$
5. Simplify the denominator:
$$x=\frac{-4(L+W) \pm \sqrt{16(L+W)^2 - 48LW}}{24}$$
6. This is the properly formatted and simplified expression for $x$.
Final answer:
$$x=\frac{-4(L+W) \pm \sqrt{16(L+W)^2 - 48LW}}{24}$$
