    Step-by-step explanation:

    6 (x+5) ^2 + 5 (x+5) - 4=0

    let x+5 = y

    6y^2 + 5y - 4=0

    6y^2 + 8y - 3y-4 = 0

    2y (3y+4) - 1 (3y+4) = 0

    (2y-1) (3y+4) = 0

    2y-1=0 or 3y+4=0

    y=1/3 or - 4/3

    Recall that x+5=y

    When y=1/3

    x+5=1/3

    x = - 14/3

    when y = - 4/3

    x+5=-4/3

    x = - 11/3
