1x^{2}+5x-x^{2}-x+6=0
To find the opposite of x^{2}+x-6, find the opposite of each term.
5x-x+6=0
Combine 1x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
4x+6=0
Combine 5x and -x to get 4x.
4x=-6
Subtract 6 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-6}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=-\frac{3}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
