6x%5E2+%2B12x+=0......divide both sides by 6
6x%5E2%2F6+%2B12x%2F6+=0%2F6......
x%5E2+%2B2x+=0......factor out common x
x%28x+%2B2%29+=0......
recall: the product is equal to 0 if one or both terms are equal to 0
so,
first solution is: x%5B1%5D=0
second solution is: x%5B2%5D%2B2=0....=>....x%5B2%5D=-2
