Answer:

The correct answer option is a.
(x+3)^3=12.

Explanation:

We are given the following equation which we are to solve by completing the square method:


x^2+6x-3=0

Keeping the variables at one side and constant on the other side of the equation to get:


x^2+6x=3

Dividing the coefficient of x (6 in this case) by 2 and adding its square to both sides of the equation:


x^2+6x+9=3+9


x^2+6x+9=12

Rewriting it in the perfect square form as:


(x+3)^3=12
