$$\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{use}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{usual}\:\mathrm{formula} \\ $$$${z}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{3i}\right){z}−\mathrm{12}+\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${z}=−\frac{\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{3i}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\sqrt{\frac{\left(\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{3i}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{4}}−\left(−\mathrm{12}+\mathrm{i}\right)}= \\ $$$$=−\frac{\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{3i}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{12}+\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{i}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{solving}\:\left({a}+{b}\mathrm{i}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{12}+\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{i}\:\Rightarrow\:\sqrt{\mathrm{12}+\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{i}}=\frac{\mathrm{7}+\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${z}=−\frac{\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{3i}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{\mathrm{7}+\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{2}}=\begin{cases}{−\mathrm{5}−\mathrm{2i}}\\{\mathrm{2}−\mathrm{i}}\end{cases} \\ $$
