Answer:

D and F

Explanation:


x^(2)+4x+4=12 can be rewritten as
x^(2) +4x-8=0.

From there you can use the quadratic formula
x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^(2)+4ac } }{2a} (ignore the A, I can‘t seem to remove it), where a=1, b=4, and c=-8.


x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{4^(2)-4(1)(-8)} }{2(1)}

Then you get
x=(-4±√(16+32))/(2)

Then you get
x=(-4±√(48) )/(2)

So
x=-2±(4√(3) )/(2)

Which means
x=-2+2√(3) or
-2-2√(3) which are choices D and F.
