To solve the quadratic equation x^2 + 3x = 18, let's move all the terms to one side to get:

x^2 + 3x - 18 = 0

Next, we can factor the quadratic expression:

(x + 6)(x - 3) = 0

Setting each factor equal to zero, we get:

x + 6 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

Solving for x in each equation gives:

x = -6 or x = 3

Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation are:

x1 = -6

x2 = 3
