Clearly your function is a straight line with a slope of 3
So it has one zero.
solve 3x+18 = 0 , etc
So it has one zero.
solve 3x+18 = 0 , etc

however, if you want to go through the math, applicable to more difficult problems,
3x+18 = 0
3(x+6) = 0
Now you have a product whose results is zero. If two numbers multiplied together produce a zero product, then at least one of them must be zero. That is the key to solving these things.
So, either
3 = 0 (sorry, no solution here)
or
x+6 = 0
x = -6
That covers all the possibilities. That is why we factor polynomials and set the product to zero.
3x+18 = 0
3(x+6) = 0
