Step-by-step explanation:

x²+3x-4=6

Taking 6 to the left hand side

6 is positive on the right hand side,but 6 will become negative when crossing the equal to sign(=)

x²+3x-4-6=0

x²+3x-10=0

The factors of -10 are

-5 and +2

-2 and +5

out of these factors ,only -2 and +5 will give (+3) that is the coefficient of x.

so substitute -2x and 5x for +3x

x²-2x+5x-10=0

Factorizing,it becomes

x(x-2)+5(x-2)=0

(x+5)(x-2)=0

x+5=0 or x-2=0

Therefore,x= -5 or x=2
