Answer:


x=√(7),\:x=-√(7)

Explanation:

Start by rewriting the equation to standard form
ax^2+bx+c=0.


5(x^2-10)+5=-10,\\5x^2-50+5=-10,\\5x^2-35=0.

Factor out the 5, then isolate
x^2:


5x^2-35=0,\\5(x^2-7)=0,\\x^2-7=0,\\x^2=7,\\x=\pm √(7)..

Therefore, the solutions to this quadratic are:


x=√(7),\:x=-√(7)
