-12 + 1x + 2x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-6 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 0.5x + 6 + x2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 6
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
0.5x + x2 = 6

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 6 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 6 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 6 + 0.0625 = 6.0625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 6.0625

(x + 0.25) equal to 2.46221445 and -2.46221445.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.25 = 2.46221445 Simplifying x + 0.25 = 2.46221445 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = 2.46221445 Solving 0.25 + x = 2.46221445 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = 2.46221445 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.46221445 + -0.25 x = 2.46221445 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 2.46221445 + -0.25 = 2.21221445 x = 2.21221445 Simplifying x = 2.21221445

Subproblem 2

x + 0.25 = -2.46221445 Simplifying x + 0.25 = -2.46221445 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = -2.46221445 Solving 0.25 + x = -2.46221445 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = -2.46221445 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.46221445 + -0.25 x = -2.46221445 + -0.25 Combine like terms: -2.46221445 + -0.25 = -2.71221445 x = -2.71221445 Simplifying x = -2.71221445
