#x=-2" or "x=3#

Explanation:

#"distribute and rearrange into standard form "#

#x^2-x=6#

#rArrx^2-x-6=0larrcolor(blue)"in standard form"#

#"the factors of - 6 which sum to - 1 are - 3 and + 2"#

#rArr(x-3)(x+2)=0#

#"equate each factor to zero and solve for x"#

#x+2=0rArrx=-2#

#x-3=0rArrx=3#

#"the equation is a polynomial equation and has no restrictions"#
