Answer:

(x+7/2)^2-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +7x +12 = 0

Write x^2+7x+12 in the form x^2+2ax+a^2: 2a=7; a=7/2

Add and subtract 7/2^2: x^2+7x+12+(7/2)^2-(7/2)^2

Complete the square: (x+7/2)^2+12-(7/2)^2

Simplify: (x+7/2)^2-1/4

Draw each fraction on a fraction bar (similar to a Hersey's Bar each fraction bar being the same length just broken up differently to represent each fraction) and you will see that 4/7 is bigger than 8/16.
