Divide both sides of the equation by 3.
2x^2 + x - 6 = 0
This can be solved by factoring. We suspect that the factors of 2 (coefficient of x^2 term) and 6 (constant term) can be combined in a way that will give 1 (coefficient of x term).
2x^2 + 4x - 3x - 6 = 0 (divide the x term into a sum of products)
2x(x+2) - 3(x+2) = 0 (first factoring stage)
(2x-3)(x+2) = 0 (second factoring stage)
Now, we have the factored equation. We can determine the roots by setting each of the factors to zero.
2x-3 = 0
x = 3/2
x+2 = 0
x = -2
The solutions are x = -2, x = 3/2.
