Answer

$m=0$ and $m=-2$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 6m^2+12m=0$ Factor out $6m$. $\Rightarrow 6m(m+2)=0$ Use zero-product property rule. $\Rightarrow 6m=0$ or $m+2=0$ Solve for $m$. $\Rightarrow m=0$ or $m=-2$ Check:- $m=0$ $\Rightarrow 6(0)^2+12(0)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0+0=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check:- $m=-2$ $\Rightarrow 6(-2)^2+12(-2)=0$ $\Rightarrow 6(4)-24=0$ $\Rightarrow 24-24=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Hence, the solutions are $m=0$ and $m=-2$.
