To solve the equation \( x^4 + 9 = 12 \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ x^4 = 12 - 9 \] \[ x^4 = 3 \]

  2. Now, take the fourth root of both sides: \[ x = \pm \sqrt[4]{3} \]

Thus, the solutions for \( x \) are: \[ x = \sqrt[4]{3} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\sqrt[4]{3} \]
