There are 3 terms with x^2. Combine them on the left side.
There are two terms with x. Combine them on the left side.
There are two numbers on the left side. Combine them.
Then see what there is.

Correct.
The right side has 4 alone.
The left side is -6x + 4, so what is missing in the left side is a term that will eliminate -6x.
What do you add to -6x to get 0?
