X^2+12x+6=0 subtract 6 from both sides...

x^2+12x=-6 halve linear coefficient, 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 take square root of both sides...

x+6=30^(1/2) subtract 6 from both sides...

x=-6-30^(1/2) and -6+30^(1/2)

$x^2-10x+25=35\\\\x^2-2\cdot5\cdot x + 5^2=35\ \ \ |\text{use:}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-5)^2=35\to x-5=\pm\sqrt{35}\ \ \ |+5\\\\\boxed{x=5-\sqrt{35}\ \vee\ x=5+\sqrt{35}}$

$\text{other method}\\\\x^2-10x+25=35\\\\x^2-5x-5x+25=35\\\\x(x-5)-5(x-5)=35\\\\(x-5)(x-5)=35\\\\(x-5)^2=35\\.....$
