    x = - 8 or x = 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    x² + 6x - 6 = 10 (subtract 10 from both sides)

    x² + 6x - 16 = 0

    Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 16) which sum to give the coefficient of the x - term ( + 6)

    The factors are + 8 and - 2, since

    8 * - 2 = - 16 and 8 - 2 = + 6, thus

    (x + 8) (x - 2) = 0

    Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

    x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

    x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

    Solutions are x = - 8 or x = 2 ← the last option

    the answer is X=-8 or X = 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    subtract 10 from both sides in order to eliminate 10.

    x^2 + 6x - 16

    find two factors of - 16 that sum up to 6.

    -2 and 8 are two factors of - 16 that sum up to 6.

    (x-2) (x+8)

    x-2 = 0, x = 2

    x+8 = 0, x = - 8
