You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2X^2+X=10 is the same as 2X^2+X-10=0 this is a quadratic equation.
you can solve this equation by solving for X and you will have 2 solutions
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+


X= (-1 - sqrt( 1^2-4*2*-10 ))/(2*2) }}} = 2

X= (-1 + sqrt( 1^2-4*2*-10 ))/(2*2) }}} = -5/2

Your solution is: X= ( -5/2;2)
