Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-6 + -1x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-6 + -1x2 = 0

Solving
-6 + -1x2 = 0

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

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -1x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -1x2 = 0 + 6
-1x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
-1x2 = 6

Divide each side by '-1'.
x2 = -6

Simplifying
x2 = -6

The solution to this equation could not be determined.

This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(2 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + x = 0

Solving
2 + x = 0

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

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + x = 0 + -2
x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
x = -2

Simplifying
x = -2
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + -1x = 0

Solving
2 + -1x = 0

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -2
-1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1x = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 2

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