Answer:

Option A is correct.

x = -6 \pm \sqrt{30}

Explanation:

Given the expression: x^2+12x+6 = 0

x^2+12x+6=0

Subtract 6 from both sides, we get

x^2+12x=-6

halve linear coefficient,then square it, and add it to both sides

x^2+12x+36=30

Now, the left side is a perfect square

(x+6)^2=30

Now, take square root to both sides.

x+6=\sqrt{30}

Subtract 6 from both sides, we get;

x = -6 \pm \sqrt{30}

So, the solutions are : x = -6 \pm \sqrt{30}
