Answer:
x = ±6
Step-by-step explanation:
The left side is the difference of squares, so factors accordingly:
(2x -12)(2x +12) = 0
The zero factor property tells you the product will be zero when one or more factors is zero.
2x -12 = 0
x -6 = 0 . . . . divide by 2
x = 6 . . . . . . one solution to the equation
__
2x +12 = 0
x + 6 = 0 . . . . divide by 2
x = -6 . . . . . . . the other solution to the equation
