        x(x - 6) = 4(x + 6)
    x(x) - x(6) = 4(x) + 4(6)
     x² - 6x = 4x + 24
         - 4x - 4x
     x² - 10x = 24
x² - 10x - 24 = 24 - 24
x² - 10x - 24 = 0
x = -(-10) +/- √((-10) - 4(1)(-24))
   2(1)
x = 10 +/- √(100 + 96)
   2
x = 10 +/- √(196)
2
x = 10 +/- 14

x = 5 + 7
x = 5 + 7 U x = 5 - 7
x = 12    x = -2
The values of x in the equation is either equal to 12 or -2.
