x3 + 2x2 - 5x - 6, x + 3
-----
Using synthetic division:
-3)....1....2....-5....-6
.......1...-1....-2...|..0
Quotient: x^2-x-2
---
Solve x^2-x-2 = 0
(x-2)(x+1) = 0
x = 2 or x = -1

x3 + 2x2 - 5x - 6, x + 3
x + 3 --> x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x - 6 (x^2)
x^3 + 3x^2
-x^2 - 5x - 6 (-x)
-x^2 - 3x
- 2x - 6 (-2)
- 2x - 6
0
(x + 3)(x^2 - x - 2)
(x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1) (x^2 + x - 2x - 2 by FOIL last 2 terms)

Use long division or synthetic division to get the quotient of the equation.
Once you have it that far you can use normal quadratic formula etc to solve.
BTW 2x2 should be 2x2
and x3 should be x^3
