\( x = -1, -2 \)
Solución
We begin with the quadratic equation:
\[
3x^2 + 9x + 6 = 0
\]
**Step 1. Factor out the common factor.**
Notice that \(3\) is a common factor in all the terms:
\[
3x^2 + 9x + 6 = 3(x^2 + 3x + 2) = 0
\]
**Step 2. Factor the quadratic expression.**
We now factor the quadratic inside the parentheses:
\[
x^2 + 3x + 2 = (x + 1)(x + 2)
\]
**Step 3. Set the factors equal to zero and solve for \(x\).**
Since \(3(x + 1)(x + 2) = 0\), we set each factor equal to zero:
\[
x + 1 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x + 2 = 0
\]
Thus, we have:
\[
x = -1 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -2
\]
**Final Answer:**
\[
x = -1, \; -2
\]

To solve the quadratic equation \(3x^{2}+9x+6=0\) by factoring, first factor out the greatest common factor, which is 3: \[ 3(x^{2}+3x+2)=0 \] Next, we can factor the quadratic \(x^{2}+3x+2\) into: \[ (x+1)(x+2)=0 \] Setting each factor equal to zero gives: 1. \(x + 1 = 0 \) → \(x = -1\) 2. \(x + 2 = 0 \) → \(x = -2\) Thus, the solutions are \( x = -1, -2 \).
