1) Since we've been given the equation x²+4x +4=12 then let's solve it to find the roots

2) Applying the resolutive formula

x²+4x +4=12

x²+4x +4-12 =0

x²+4x -8=0


\begin{gathered} \Delta=b^2-4ac \\ \Delta=(4)^2-4(1)(-8) \\ \Delta=16\text{ +32=48} \\ \frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{\Delta}}{2a} \\ \frac{-4\pm\sqrt[]{48}}{2} \\ x_1=-2+2\sqrt[]{3} \\ x_2=-2-2\sqrt[]{3} \end{gathered}
