Solve -2x^2-12x=10

Evaluate

- 2 x^{2} - 12 x = 10

Move the expression to the left side

- 2 x^{2} - 12 x - 10 = 0

Factor the expression

More Steps

- 2 (x + 1) (x + 5) = 0

Divide the terms

(x + 1) (x + 5) = 0

When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0

x + 1 = 0 x + 5 = 0

Solve the equation for x
