Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + 12z + -4 + z2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + 12z + z2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 12z + z2 = 0 + -4
12z + z2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
12z + z2 = -4

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

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
12z + 36 + z2 = -4 + 36

Reorder the terms:
36 + 12z + z2 = -4 + 36

Combine like terms: -4 + 36 = 32
36 + 12z + z2 = 32

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(z + 6)(z + 6) = 32

Calculate the square root of the right side: 5.656854249

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(z + 6) equal to 5.656854249 and -5.656854249.

Subproblem 1
z + 6 = 5.656854249

Simplifying
z + 6 = 5.656854249

Reorder the terms:
6 + z = 5.656854249

Solving
6 + z = 5.656854249

Solving for variable 'z'.

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

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + z = 5.656854249 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + z = 5.656854249 + -6
z = 5.656854249 + -6

Combine like terms: 5.656854249 + -6 = -0.343145751
z = -0.343145751

Simplifying
z = -0.343145751

Subproblem 2
z + 6 = -5.656854249

Simplifying
z + 6 = -5.656854249

Reorder the terms:
6 + z = -5.656854249

Solving
6 + z = -5.656854249

Solving for variable 'z'.

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

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + z = -5.656854249 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + z = -5.656854249 + -6
z = -5.656854249 + -6

Combine like terms: -5.656854249 + -6 = -11.656854249
z = -11.656854249

Simplifying
z = -11.656854249

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
z = {-0.343145751, -11.656854249}
