16 / 5 = 48 / 12

16 * 12 = 5 * 48
192 = 240

which is incorrect  so 5 cannot be the solution of the equation.

substituting 4 for x  will give you 192=192

Answer:

\large\boxed{-10x^6+5x^5+15x^4-10x^3-6x^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x^5+4x^2-2x^6+6x^4)-(10x^2+10x^3+8x^6-9x^4)\\\\=5x^5+4x^2-2x^6+6x^4-10x^2-10x^3-8x^6-(-9x^4)\\\\=5x^5+4x^2-2x^6+6x^4-10x^2-10x^3-8x^6+9x^4\\\\\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(-2x^6-8x^6)+5x^5+(6x^4+9x^4)-10x^3+(4x^2-10x^2)\\\\=-10x^6+5x^5+15x^4-10x^3-6x^2
