Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(12 + -3x + -1x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
12 + -3x + -1x2 = 0

Solving
12 + -3x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-12 + 3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 3x + 12 + x2 = 0 + 12

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 12 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 12
3x + x2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
3x + x2 = 12

The x term is 3x.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3x + 2.25 + x2 = 12 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 12 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 12 + 2.25 = 14.25
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 14.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.5)(x + 1.5) = 14.25
