No, I mean multiply both sides of 0 = 3x² - 6x - 6 by 1/3. Don't screw with the factor you've already pulled out; that one's already locked down.

The equation doesn't have to be simplified to use the quadratic formula. If you don't simplify it, then the /2a term will simplify it for you in the end. I was simplifying it to see if I could find the remaining factors by inspection.
