Answer:

X = 2 and X = -8

Explanation:

X2 + 6X - 6-10 = 0 ....... when +10 pass the equality sign it will become -10

X2 + 6X -16 =0

here we need to find if there are two numbers there sum is +6 and there product is -16.

here we need to find if there are two numbers there sum is +6 and there product is -16.The two numbers are -2 and +8

-2+8= +6

-2*8= -16

( X - 2 ) * ( X + 8 ) =0

X - 2 = 0 ...... when -2 pass equality sign it will become+2

X = 2

X + 8 =0 ..... when +8 pass equality sign it will become -8

X = -8

Answer:

Explanation:


x^(2) + 6x-6= 10\\x^(2) +6x-16=0\\x^(2) -2x+8x-16=0\\x(x-2)+8(x-2)=0\\(x-2)(x+8)=0\\x = 2\\or\\x = -8
