\begin{gathered} -2(x+4)(3x-18)=0 \\ \text{There are two factors here which are} \\ -2(x+4)\text{ and} \\ (3x-18) \\ \text{This means, either} \\ 2(x+4)=0 \\ 2x+8=0 \\ 2x=-8 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2} \\ x=-4 \\ OR \\ 3x-18=0 \\ 3x=18 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 3} \\ x=6 \\ \text{Therefore,} \\ x=-4\text{ or} \\ x=6 \end{gathered}

x = -4 OR x = 6

The correct options are B and G
