I found:
#(-2,0)#
and
#(1/3,0)#

Explanation:

You set #y=0# and solve the corresponding equation:

#6x^2+10x-4=0#

using the Quadratic Formula:
#x_(1,2)=(-10+-sqrt(100+96))/12=(-10+-14)/12=#
Two solutions:
#x_1=-24/12=-2#
#x_2=4/12=1/3#

The #x-#intercepts will be:

#(-2,0)#
and
#(1/3,0)#

Graphically:
graph{6x^2+10x-4 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
