Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

Equation: 3x² + 6x = -18

Divide by 3: x² + 2x = -6

Add: x² + 2x + 6 = 0

Quadratic formula: x = (-2 ± √((-2)² - 4(1)(6))/2

Multiply: x = (-2 ± √(4 - 24))/2

Solve the discriminant: 4 - 24 = -20

When the discriminant is negative, there is no solution because square roots can not be negative.
