solution (-6,3)
equation
(x+6)(x-3)=0
x^2+3x-18=0

Start with the solutions and work backwards to the equation.

x = -6 or x = 3
x + 6 = 0 or x - 3 = 0 {added 6 and subtracted 3, respectively}
(x + 6)(x - 3) = 0 {set the two binomials, multiplied together and equal to 0}
x� + 3x - 18 = 0 {multiplied with foil method}
