6(2 + x)(-4 + x) = 0

Multiply (2 + x) * (-4 + x)
6(2(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x)) = 0
6((-4 * 2 + x * 2) + x(-4 + x)) = 0
6((-8 + 2x) + x(-4 + x)) = 0
6(-8 + 2x + (-4 * x + x * x)) = 0
6(-8 + 2x + (-4x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 2x + -4x = -2x
6(-8 + -2x + x2) = 0
(-8 * 6 + -2x * 6 + x2 * 6) = 0
(-48 + -12x + 6x2) = 0

Solving
-48 + -12x + 6x2 = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -1x = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -4
-1x = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-1x = -4

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 4

Simplifying
x = 4
Solution
x = {-2, 4}
