Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(12 + 6m + m2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 12 + 6m + m2 = 0 Solving 12 + 6m + m2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-12' to each side of the equation. 12 + 6m + -12 + m2 = 0 + -12 Reorder the terms: 12 + -12 + 6m + m2 = 0 + -12 Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0 0 + 6m + m2 = 0 + -12 6m + m2 = 0 + -12 Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12 6m + m2 = -12 The m term is 6m. Take half its coefficient (3). Square it (9) and add it to both sides. Add '9' to each side of the equation. 6m + 9 + m2 = -12 + 9 Reorder the terms: 9 + 6m + m2 = -12 + 9 Combine like terms: -12 + 9 = -3 9 + 6m + m2 = -3 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (m + 3)(m + 3) = -3 Can't calculate square root of the right side. The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined. The solution to this equation could not be determined.
