Step-by-step explanation:

This is what you get when you follow the instructions.

  $\dfrac{6}{x}=\dfrac{2x+4}{5}\qquad\text{given}\\\\\dfrac{6(5x)}{x}=\dfrac{(5x)(2x+4)}{5}\qquad\text{multiply by the common denominator 5x }\\\\30=x(2x+4)\qquad\text{cancel common factors}\\\\30=2x^2+4x\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\\\\boxed{2x^2+4x-30=0}\qquad\text{subtract 30}$
