The solution

You have entered [src]
(x + 6)*(2*x + 6) - 20 = 0
$$\left(x + 6\right) \left(2 x + 6\right) - 20 = 0$$
Detail solution
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(x + 6\right) \left(2 x + 6\right) - 20 = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$2 x^{2} + 18 x + 16 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 2$$
$$b = 18$$
$$c = 16$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(18)^2 - 4 * (2) * (16) = 196

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = -1$$
$$x_{2} = -8$$
