The answer options in my book are:
{2, 1}
{2, 6}
{2, 3}
{ }
Now I'm confused because there is only one variable here, "x", so why two values in the solution set?

2x^2-6x = 4x-12
Subtract 4x from both sides:
2x^2-6x-4x = 4x-12-4x
2x^2-10x = -12
Add 12 to both sides:
2x^2-10x+12 = -12+12
2x^2-10x+12 = 0
Factor out 2 from the left side:
2(x^2-5x+6) = 0
Divide both sides by 2:
2(x^2-5x+6)/2 = 0/2
x^2-5x+6 = 0
Factor the trinomial on the left side:
(x-3)(x-2) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve:
Either x-3=0 or x-2=0.
Therefore x=3 or x=2.
Answer: x = {2,3}
Subtract 4x from both sides:
2x^2-6x-4x = 4x-12-4x
2x^2-10x = -12
Add 12 to both sides:
2x^2-10x+12 = -12+12
2x^2-10x+12 = 0
Factor out 2 from the left side:
2(x^2-5x+6) = 0
Divide both sides by 2:
2(x^2-5x+6)/2 = 0/2
x^2-5x+6 = 0
Factor the trinomial on the left side:
(x-3)(x-2) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve:
Either x-3=0 or x-2=0.
Therefore x=3 or x=2.
Answer: x = {2,3}

2x^2-6x=4x-12
x^2-3x=2x-6
x^2-5x+6 = 0
(x-3)(x-2) = 0
x = 2 or 3
{2,3}
The number of solutions = highest power of x in the equation
Here we have x^2 so 2 solutions
x^2-3x=2x-6
x^2-5x+6 = 0
(x-3)(x-2) = 0
x = 2 or 3
{2,3}
