Can You Help Me Solve 6x2+3x-18=0 Using The Quadratic Formula Can You Work It Out With Me?

First of all, do the multiplying and/or dividing first. Then the addition and subtraction. You need to figure out what X is.

I would factor 3 out of all of the coefficients first, just to make the arithmetic a little bit easier.
6x^2 + 3x - 18 = 0
2x^2 + x - 6 = 0
The quadratic equation says the solution to ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is
x = (-b ±√(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)
Your (reduced) equation has a=2, b=1, c=-6. Substituting these into the formula gives
x = (-1 ±√(1^2 - 4(2)(-6)))/(2(2))
= (-1 ±√(1+48))/4
= (-1 ±√49)/4
= (-1±7)/4
= {-8, +6}/4 (-1-7 = -8, -1+7 = +6, so there are two quantities represented here)
x = {-2, +3/2} (either of these values is a solution for x)
You can also solve this by factoring
2x^2 + x - 6 = 0
2x^2 + 4x - 3x - 6 = 0
2x(x + 2) - 3(x + 2) = 0
(2x-3)(x+2) = 0
x = 3/2 or x = -2
6x^2 + 3x - 18 = 0
2x^2 + x - 6 = 0
