5x^{2}+10x+6=6
Combine 4x^{2} and x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
5x^{2}+10x+6-6=0
Subtract 6 from both sides.
5x^{2}+10x=0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
x=\frac{-10±\sqrt{10^{2}}}{2\times 5}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 5 for a, 10 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-10±10}{2\times 5}
Take the square root of 10^{2}.
x=\frac{-10±10}{10}
Multiply 2 times 5.
x=\frac{0}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-10±10}{10} when ± is plus. Add -10 to 10.
x=0
Divide 0 by 10.
x=-\frac{20}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-10±10}{10} when ± is minus. Subtract 10 from -10.
x=-2
Divide -20 by 10.
x=0 x=-2
The equation is now solved.
\left(2x+2\right)\left(2x+3\right)=x\left(4-x\right)-\left(2x-3\right)\times \frac{2}{1}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+1.
4x^{2}+10x+6=x\left(4-x\right)-\left(2x-3\right)\times \frac{2}{1}

4x^{2}+10x+6=4x-x^{2}-4x+6
To find the opposite of 4x-6, find the opposite of each term.
4x^{2}+10x+6=-x^{2}+6
Combine 4x and -4x to get 0.
4x^{2}+10x+6+x^{2}=6
Add x^{2} to both sides.
5x^{2}+10x+6=6
Combine 4x^{2} and x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
5x^{2}+10x=6-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
5x^{2}+10x=0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
\frac{5x^{2}+10x}{5}=\frac{0}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x^{2}+\frac{10}{5}x=\frac{0}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x^{2}+2x=\frac{0}{5}
Divide 10 by 5.
x^{2}+2x=0
Divide 0 by 5.
x^{2}+2x+1^{2}=1^{2}
Divide 2, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get 1. Then add the square of 1 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}+2x+1=1
Square 1.
\left(x+1\right)^{2}=1
Factor x^{2}+2x+1. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{1}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x+1=1 x+1=-1
Simplify.
x=0 x=-2
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
