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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
12 + 8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + 8x + -12 + x2 = 0 + -12

Reorder the terms:
12 + -12 + 8x + x2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 8x + x2 = 0 + -12
8x + x2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
8x + x2 = -12

The x term is 8x.  Take half its coefficient (4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
8x + 16 + x2 = -12 + 16

Reorder the terms:
16 + 8x + x2 = -12 + 16

Combine like terms: -12 + 16 = 4
16 + 8x + x2 = 4

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 4)(x + 4) = 4

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 4) equal to 2 and -2.

Subproblem 1

x + 4 = 2 Simplifying x + 4 = 2 Reorder the terms: 4 + x = 2 Solving 4 + x = 2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + -4 + x = 2 + -4 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + x = 2 + -4 x = 2 + -4 Combine like terms: 2 + -4 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Subproblem 2

x + 4 = -2 Simplifying x + 4 = -2 Reorder the terms: 4 + x = -2 Solving 4 + x = -2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + -4 + x = -2 + -4 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + x = -2 + -4 x = -2 + -4 Combine like terms: -2 + -4 = -6 x = -6 Simplifying x = -6

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-2, -6}
