Answer:
9. ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6
11. ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12
Step-by-step explanation:
The possible rational roots are (plus or minus) the divisors of the constant term, divided by the divisors of the leading coefficient.
Here, the leading coefficient is 1 in each case, so the possible rational roots are plus or minus a divisor of the constant term.

9. The constant is -6. Divisors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. The possible rational roots are ...
±{1, 2, 3, 6}

11. The constant is 12. Divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12. The possible rational roots are ...
±{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}

A graphing calculator is useful for seeing if any of these values actually are roots of the equation. (The 4th-degree equation will have 2 complex roots.)
8x + 6 - 2x = 34x
Simplify 8x +6 - 2x to 6x + 6:
6x + 6 = 34x
Subtract 6x from both sides:
6 = 34x- 6x
Simplify 34x - 6x to 28x:
6 = 28x
Divide both sides by 28:
= x
Simplify to 
:
= x
Now switch sides and the answer is:
x =

Simplify 8x +6 - 2x to 6x + 6:
6x + 6 = 34x
Subtract 6x from both sides:
6 = 34x- 6x
Simplify 34x - 6x to 28x:
6 = 28x
Divide both sides by 28:
Simplify
Now switch sides and the answer is:
x =
