x^2= -6x
x^2/x= -6 (mulitiply both sides by 1/x)
x= -6 (cancle the x and then u'll b left with one x at the top, which will giv u this answer)

To solve for x in x^2 = –6x, you need to either isolate x or simplify the equation. So:
x^2 = –6x
x^2 + 6x = 0
x(x + 6) = 0
When x is factored out, you must now use logic. When 0 is the product of multiplication, this means that one or more of the factors must be 0 so you need to set up an equation like this:
x = 0 or x + 6 = 0
x = 0 or x = -6
x = 0, -6
Thus, you have two solutions for x. If you simply isolate x by dividing by x, you would have gotten -6 but you would not have found the second possible solution for x, so be careful when you use this tactic!

x^2 = -6x
(read: x squared equals negative 6x)
Divide both sides by x.
x = -6x/x
The x's cancel each other out, so
x = -6
(-6)(-6) = 36 on both sides.

X^2+6X = 0
x(x+6) = 0
x = (0,-6)

x=0 or x=-6
x^2=-6x
x^2+6x=0
x(x+6)=0

I wish people would stop being lazy and do their own homework there is a difference between asking for help and being a slacker and having others do your work for you.
