You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x squared + 10x = -3 2x^2 + 10x + 3 = 0
 Uset the quadratic formula to get:
 x = [-10 +- sqrt(100-4*2*3)]/(2*2)
 x = [-10 +- sqrt(76)]/4
 x = [-(5/2) +- (1/2)sqrt(19)]
 --------------------------------------
 and
 x squared + 10x - 7 = 0
 x^2 + 10x -7 = 0
 Use the quadratic formula to get:
 x = [-10 +- sqrt(100-4*1*-7]/2
 x = [-10 +- sqrt(128)]/2
 x = [-5 =- 4sqrt(2)]
 ====================================
