{-3; -6}

==============
Set the expression equal to zero and solve for x.

  • (x + 3)(- x - 6) = 0
  • (x + 3) = 0 or (- x - 6) = 0

Solving the first equation, we get:

  • x+3 = 0 ⇒ x = -3


Solving the second equation, we get:

  • - x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = -6

Therefore, the roots x = - 3 and x = - 6.
