There are two ways we can solve this: by factoring or by the quadratic formula. But if you've already been factoring, you've already seen it's quite futile. So, we shall resort with the second option.
The quadratic formula: x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
Plug in the values of a, b, and c: x=%28-7%2B-sqrt%287%5E2-4%2810%29%28-6%29%29%29%2F2%2810%29.
Simplify that equation and you will find that the roots are 1%2F2 and -6%2F5.
