Step 1
a)

6 x^{2} + x - 12

Factorization:

6 x 12 = 72

72 = 9 x 8

6 x^{2} + 9 x - 8 x - 12 = 0

3 x (2 x + 3) - 4 (2 x + 3) = 0

(2 x + 3) (3 x - 4) = 0

2 x + 3 = 0

3 x - 4 = 0

x = \frac{- 3}{2} x = \frac{4}{3}

Step 2
Method:

x = \frac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4 a c}}{2 a}

x = \frac{- 1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 4 x 6 x 12}}{2 x 6}

x = x = \frac{- 1 \pm 17}{12}

x = \frac{16}{12}

x = \frac{- 18}{12}

x = \frac{4}{3}

x = \frac{- 3}{2}
