Do you mean like:

(ax +b)(cx+d) = 0

For the LHS (Left Hand Side) to be zero, either (or both) of the brackets must be zero, that is:

ax+b = 0 or cx+d = 0

which can be solved quite simply by rearranging them:

ax+b=0 -> x = -b/a

cx+d=0 -> x = -d/c

So the solution would be x = -b/a or x = -d/c.

If this is not what you mean, ask again giving an example.

Perhaps, despite being correct, you may be over thinking this. The contributor may mean simply what is meant by two sets of brackets next to each other. In which case the answer is: The results of the pair of brackets are multiplied together.

How do you solve x2 6x equals 0?

factorise it into brackets. The equation is actually x2-6x+0. So into brackets it will be (x-6)(x+0) = 0. From here, to solve the equation, make either of the brackets = 0 by substituting a value for x. In this instance x = 0 or 6.
