[(2x-3)/5]squared + 2[(2x-3)/5] = 8
-------------
Let w = (2x-3)/5
------
w^2 + 2w - 8 = 0
----
(w+4)(w-2) = 0
----
w = -4 or w = 2
-----------------
Solve for "x":
(2x-3)/5 = -4 or (2x-3)/5 = 2
---------------
2x-3 = -20 or 2x-3 = 10
--------------
2x = -17 or 2x = 13
--------
x = -8.5 or x = 6.5
-----------------------
