X^2 + 6x + 9 = 12

X^2 + 6x - 3 = 0

(-6 ± √(6^2 - 4*1*-3) ) / 2

3 ± √(48) / 2

3 ± 4√(3) / 2

3 ± 2√(3)

To solve this problem and to calculate the value of the variable "x", you must apply the following proccedure:

1. You have the quadratic equation:

x²+6x+9=12

2. Then:

x²+6x+9-12=0
x²+6x-3=0

3. You must apply the quadratic formula, which is:

(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a

a=1
b=6
c=-3

4. Then, the result is:

x=-3
±2√3

Therefore, the correct option is the first one:
x=-3±2√3
