Simplifying
(x + 3)(x + -4) = 12

Reorder the terms:
(3 + x)(x + -4) = 12

Reorder the terms:
(3 + x)(-4 + x) = 12

Multiply (3 + x) * (-4 + x)
(3(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x)) = 12
((-4 * 3 + x * 3) + x(-4 + x)) = 12
((-12 + 3x) + x(-4 + x)) = 12
(-12 + 3x + (-4 * x + x * x)) = 12
(-12 + 3x + (-4x + x2)) = 12

Combine like terms: 3x + -4x = -1x
(-12 + -1x + x2) = 12

Solving
-12 + -1x + x2 = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-12 + -12 + -1x + x2 = 12 + -12

-24 + -1x + x2 = 12 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
-24 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '24' to each side of the equation.
-24 + -1x + 24 + x2 = 0 + 24

Reorder the terms:
-24 + 24 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 24
-1x + x2 = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: 0 + 24 = 24
-1x + x2 = 24

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
