1) Open up any parentheses if there are any
2) Combine like terms (moving the variable to one side and other numbers to the other)
3) solve using pemdas/bedmas and any additional steps you need to isolate the variable
4) if x turns out negative, invert the sign
Example:
2x+5=3(x+1)
Open up the parentheses by multiplying it by 3
2x+5=3x+3
Combine like terms
2x-3x=3-5
-x=-2
x=2
I hope this helps!

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 6 u^2 + 4u + 6 = 0 where u = (x-5)^2
Discussion; I think the problem statement should actually be to rewrite <u>this</u> equation:
6 (x-5)^4 + 4 (x-5)^2 + 6 -= 0.
Note the power of "x-5" is 4 in the first term and is 2 in the second term. That is, the power of x-5 in the first terms is double, or the square, of the (x-5) power occurring in the second term. This suggest the substitution u = (x-5)^2. Then the equation can be rewritten as
6 u^2 + 4u + 6 = 0
which is a quadratic in "u".
