x=4/3 = 1 1/3 or x=2

Explanation:

4x^2-4x+2=x^2+6x-6

:.4x^2-x^2-4x-6x=-6-2

:.3x^2-10x=-8

:.3x^2-10x+8=0

:.(3x-4)(x-2=0)

:.3x=4 , x=2

:.x=4/3 , x=2

substitute x= 4/3

:.4(4/3)^2-4(4/3)+2=(4/3)^2+6(4/3)-6)

:.4(16/9)-16/3+2=16/9+24/3-6

:.64/9-16/3+2/1=16/9+24/3-6/1

:.(64-48+18=16+72-54)/9

:.34=34

substitute x= 2

:.4(2)^2-4(2)+2=(2)^2+6(2)-6

:.16-8+2=4+12-6

:.10=10
