The root of polynomial $ p(x) $ is:
$$ \begin{aligned}x &= -\frac{ 12 }{ 11 } \end{aligned} $$Step 1:
Combine like terms:
$$ \color{blue}{6x} + \color{red}{6x} \color{red}{-23x} -12 = \color{red}{-11x} -12 $$Step 2:
$$ \begin{aligned} -11x-12 & = 0 \\[1 em] -11 \cdot x & = 12 \\[1 em] x & = \frac{ 12 }{ -11 } \end{aligned} $$
