First simplify so we can see what kind of equation we have. Using the Distributive Property to multiply we get:

This is a quadratic equation (because of the squared term). To solve it we first want one side to be zero. Subtracting 6 from each side:

Now we factor (or use the Quadratic Formula). We can factor out the greatest common factor of 3:

But now it won't factor anymore. So we must resort to the Quadratic Formula. We can use the formula on or on . (The answers will be the same either way.) I'm going to use the formula on because the a, b and c values are smaller.

Simplifying...

which is short for:
or
These are the two solutions to your equation.
