Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
x1=D−b2ax_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
x2=−D−b2ax_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
a=3a = 3
b=0b = 0
c=−12c = -12
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(0)^2 - 4 * (3) * (-12) = 144

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
x1=2x_{1} = 2
x2=−2x_{2} = -2
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
3x2−12=03 x^{2} - 12 = 0
of
ax2+bx+c=0a x^{2} + b x + c = 0
as reduced quadratic equation
x2+bxa+ca=0x^{2} + \frac{b x}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0
x2−4=0x^{2} - 4 = 0
px+q+x2=0p x + q + x^{2} = 0
where
p=bap = \frac{b}{a}
p=0p = 0
q=caq = \frac{c}{a}
q=−4q = -4
