Squaring the given we get
12+sqrt(12+sqrt(12+sqrt(12...))) = x^2
12 + x = x^2 [BECAUSE sqrt(12+sqrt(12+sqrt(12...))) = x as given in your question ]
then solving the above quadratic
x^2 - x -12 = 0
x^2 - 4x + 3x - 12 = 0
x(x-4) + 3(x-4) = 0
(x-4)(x+3) = 0
x = 4 or x = -3
But the value of the given expression is positive, so ignoring x = - 3
ANS IS x = 4
12+sqrt(12+sqrt(12+sqrt(12...))) = x^2
12 + x = x^2 [BECAUSE sqrt(12+sqrt(12+sqrt(12...))) = x as given in your question ]
then solving the above quadratic
x^2 - x -12 = 0
x^2 - 4x + 3x - 12 = 0
x(x-4) + 3(x-4) = 0
(x-4)(x+3) = 0
x = 4 or x = -3
