Solve n^2 - 3n - 10 = 0

Evaluate

n^{2} - 3 n - 10 = 0

Factor the expression

More Steps

(n - 5) (n + 2) = 0

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

n - 5 = 0 n + 2 = 0

Solve the equation for n

More Steps

n = 5 n + 2 = 0

Solve the equation for n

More Steps

n = 5 n = - 2

Solution

n_{1} = - 2, n_{2} = 5
