To solve the quadratic equation 4x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0 using completing the square, follow these steps:

Move the constant term to the other side of the equation:

4x^2 - 5x = 6

Divide the entire equation by the coefficient of the squared term (4) to make the coefficient 1 for the
squared term:

x^2 - (5/4)x = 6/4

Now, complete the square for the quadratic term (x^2 - (5/4)x). To do this, take half of the coefficient of
the linear term (-5/4), square it, and add it to both sides of the equation:

x^2 - (5/4)x + (-5/8)^2 = 6/4 + (-5/8)^2

Simplify both sides:

x^2 - (5/4)x + 25/64 = 24/16 + 25/64

Continue simplifying:

x^2 - (5/4)x + 25/64 = 3/2 + 25/64

Combine the constants on the right side:

x^2 - (5/4)x + 25/64 = (3/2) + (25/64)

Now, factor the left side as a perfect square trinomial:

(x - 5/8)^2 = (3/2) + (25/64)

Find a common denominator on the right side:

(x - 5/8)^2 = (192/128) + (25/64)

Add the fractions on the right side:

(x - 5/8)^2 = (192/128) + (50/128)

Continue simplifying:

(x - 5/8)^2 = (192 + 50)/128

Combine the numerators:

(x - 5/8)^2 = 242/128

Reduce the fraction on the right side:

(x - 5/8)^2 = 121/64

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 5/8 = ±√(121/64)

Simplify the square root:

x - 5/8 = ±(11/8)

Now, solve for x by adding 5/8 to both sides for each case of the plus and minus sign:

For the plus sign:

x = 5/8 + 11/8 = 16/8 = 2

For the minus sign:

x = 5/8 - 11/8 = -6/8 = -3/4

So, the solutions to the equation 4x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0 are x = 2 and x = -3/4.
