3%28x-p%29%5E2%2Bq=3x%5E2-12x%2B7
3%28x-p%29%5E2%2Bq=%283x%5E2-12x%29%2B7...complete square
3%28x-p%29%5E2%2Bq=3%28x%5E2-4x%29%2B7
3%28x-p%29%5E2%2Bq=3%28x%5E2-4x%2B__%29-3%2A__%2B7
3%28x-p%29%5E2%2Bq=3%28x%5E2-4x%2B2%5E2%29-3%2A4%2B7
3%28x-p%29%5E2%2Bq=3%28x-2%29%5E2-12%2B7
3%28x-p%29%5E2%2Bq=3%28x-2%29%5E2-5
so, p=2 and q=-5
