Answer

No real solution.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $\Rightarrow -3x^2+6=10$ Subtract $6$ from each side. $\Rightarrow -3x^2+6-6=10-6$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -3x^2=4$ Divide each side by $-3$. $\Rightarrow \frac{-3x^2}{-3}=\frac{4}{-3}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x^2=-\frac{4}{3}$ $-\frac{4}{3}\leq0$ is a negative number. Square root of real number cannot be negative. Hence, there is no real solution.
