$$(x-1+3x^2)(-4x+6) = 0$$

$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = \dfrac{ 3 }{ 2 } & x_2 = -\dfrac{ 1 }{ 6 }-\dfrac{\sqrt{ 13 }}{ 6 } & x_3 = -\dfrac{ 1 }{ 6 }+\dfrac{\sqrt{ 13 }}{ 6 } \end{matrix} $$

$ \color{blue}{ -12x^{3}+14x^{2}+10x-6 } $ is a polynomial of degree 3. To find zeros for polynomials of degree 3 or higher we use Rational Root Test.

The Rational Root Theorem tells you that if the polynomial has a rational zero then it must be a fraction $ \dfrac{p}{q} $, where p is a factor of the trailing constant and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.

The factors of the leading coefficient ( -12 ) are 1 2 3 4 6 12 .The factors of the constant term (-6) are 1 2 3 6 . Then the Rational Roots Tests yields the following possible solutions:

$$ \pm \frac{ 1 }{ 1 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 1 }{ 6 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 1 }{ 12 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 2 }{ 1 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 2 }{ 2 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 2 }{ 4 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 2 }{ 6 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 2 }{ 12 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 3 }{ 1 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 3 }{ 2 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 3 }{ 3 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 3 }{ 4 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 3 }{ 6 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 3 }{ 12 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 6 }{ 1 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 6 }{ 2 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 6 }{ 3 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 6 }{ 4 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 6 }{ 6 } , ~ \pm \frac{ 6 }{ 12 } ~ $$

Substitute the POSSIBLE roots one by one into the polynomial to find the actual roots. Start first with the whole numbers.

If we plug these values into the polynomial $ P(x) $, we obtain $ P(\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }) = 0 $.

To find remaining zeros we use Factor Theorem. This theorem states that if $\frac{p}{q}$ is root of the polynomial then this polynomial can be divided with $ \color{blue}{q x - p} $. In this example:

Divide $ P(x) $ with $ \color{blue}{ 2 x - 3 } $

$$ \frac{ -12x^{3}+14x^{2}+10x-6 }{ \color{blue}{ 2x - 3 } } = -6x^{2}-2x+2 $$

Polynomial $ -6x^{2}-2x+2 $ can be used to find the remaining roots.

$ \color{blue}{ -6x^{2}-2x+2 } $ is a second degree polynomial. For a detailed answer how to find its roots you can use step-by-step quadratic equation solver.
