Answer:

If just combining like terms: 3x^2 + 12

If solving for x: 2i, -2i

Step-by-step explanation: Combine like terms, so 3x^2 + 12 = 0; move the 12 to the other side by subtracting (3x^2 = -12), then divide both sides by 3, which gives x^2 = -4. Then get the square root of both sides to cancel out the power on the x. Since -4 is negative, use imaginary numbers, which makes x = 2i and x = -2i
