### Solving the Quadratic Equation

#### Problem Statement:
Solve the following equation:
\[
(x + 12)^2 = 14
\]

#### Instructions:
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice.

#### Answer Choices:
- **A.** The solution(s) is (are) \( x = \) _________  
  *(Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)*

- **B.** There are no real solutions.

#### Explanation:
This problem presents a quadratic equation in the form \((x + 12)^2 = 14\). To solve for \(x\), follow these steps:

1. **Expand the Equation:**
   \[
   (x + 12)^2 = 14
   \]
   Take the square root of both sides:
   \[
   x + 12 = \pm \sqrt{14}
   \]

2. **Isolate \(x\):**
   \[
   x = -12 \pm \sqrt{14}
   \]

Therefore, the solutions will be:
\[
x = -12 + \sqrt{14}, \, -12 - \sqrt{14}
\]

Use the provided answer box in choice A to input the solutions using the exact values as shown above.
