We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3x/6x^2+(-2x)/6x^2-6=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


3x+(-2x)-6*6x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-36x^2+3x+(-2x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-36x^2+3x-2x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-36x^2+x=0

a = -36; b = 1; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·(-36)·0
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-1}{2*-36}=\frac{-2}{-72}
=1/36
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+1}{2*-36}=\frac{0}{-72}
=0
