Answer 2

x = -2 or x = 8

Explanation:

`2x^2+6x-10=x^2+6\qquad\text{subtract}\ x^2\ \text{and 6 from both sides}\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\\\\x^2+2x-8x-16=0\\\\x(x+2)-8(x+2)=0\\\\(x+2)(x-8)=0\iff x+2=0\ \vee\ x-8=0\\\\x+2=0\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\x=-2\\\\x-8=0\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\x=8`
