2x^3 +10x^2 + 12x
.
All of the terms have a 'x' so you can rearrange the expression to
.
x*(2x^2 +10x + 12)
.
All them have a coefficient that is a multiple of 2
.
2x*(x^2 +5x + 6)
.
Factor
.
2x*(x+2)(x+3)
.
which is about as far as you can with an expression
.
However, assuming it is equal to zero, you can graph it.

.
Done.
