Algebra-1

To solve the equation by factoring, let's start by rearranging it to bring all the terms to one side:

Next, we’re looking for two numbers whose product is equal to the product of the coefficient of  (which is -6) and the constant term (which is -12). In other words, we have:

mn = ac

In this case, a = -6 and c = -12, so we have:
