Neb,

Just use addition/subtraction/mult/div to get x's on one side and and #s on the other. You are looking for all the solutions (where the eqn = 0) to each problem. Remember that what you do on one side, you need to do on the other. Factoring also helps.

I'll give a hint to start

6x^2+6x-12=0
---------- -
6......... 6

->

x^2+x-2=0

for this one there are 2 solutions

the other one there are 9

good luck
