x^{2}+5x-6=x^{2}+4x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply x+6 by x-1 and combine like terms.
x^{2}+5x-6-x^{2}=4x+4
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
5x-6=4x+4
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
5x-6-4x=4
Subtract 4x from both sides.
x-6=4
Combine 5x and -4x to get x.
x=4+6
Add 6 to both sides.
x=10
Add 4 and 6 to get 10.
