set , so , , . Since , the imaginary part of a,b,c must be 0. Start with a, since it's the easiest one to do: and therefore: , , now, do the part where the imaginery part of c is 0, since it's the second easiest one to do: x(x+6i)(2x-4-6i), the imaginery part is: 6x^2-24x, which is 0, and therefore x=4, since x=0 don't work, so now,
