Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(2 + -12x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + -12x + x2 = 0

Solving
2 + -12x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -12x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + -12x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -12x + x2 = 0 + -2
-12x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-12x + x2 = -2

The x term is -12x.  Take half its coefficient (-6).
Square it (36) and add it to both sides.

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-12x + 36 + x2 = -2 + 36

Reorder the terms:
36 + -12x + x2 = -2 + 36

Combine like terms: -2 + 36 = 34
36 + -12x + x2 = 34

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -6)(x + -6) = 34

-6 + x = 5.830951895

Solving
-6 + x = 5.830951895

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + x = 5.830951895 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + x = 5.830951895 + 6
x = 5.830951895 + 6

Combine like terms: 5.830951895 + 6 = 11.830951895
x = 11.830951895

Simplifying
x = 11.830951895

Subproblem 2
x + -6 = -5.830951895

Simplifying
x + -6 = -5.830951895

Reorder the terms:
-6 + x = -5.830951895

Solving
-6 + x = -5.830951895

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + x = -5.830951895 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + x = -5.830951895 + 6
x = -5.830951895 + 6

Combine like terms: -5.830951895 + 6 = 0.169048105
x = 0.169048105

Simplifying
x = 0.169048105

Solution
