x= -1+i; -1-i

Simplify the equation as $x^2 +2x+2=0$

This can be solved by completing the square $x^2+2x+1= -1$

$(x+1)^2 = -1$

x+1= $+- i$

x= -1+i; -1-i

There are no solutions in the set of real numbers

We have that

$3x^2+6x+6=0=>3(x^2+2x+1)+3=0=>3(x+1)^2+3=0$

From the last result we conclude that the equation does not have any real roots.
