Answer:

x=−2 or x= −2/5 or x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x3+2x2−20x−8=0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(x+2)(5x+2)(x−2)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

x+2=0 or 5x+2=0 or x−2=0

x=−2 or x=−2/5 or x=2

I have no idea if this is right- I used an equations calculator.
