the first thing I'd do would be to reduce this equation. Divide all terms by 2:

-10x^2 + 13x + 3 = 0

Then I'd use the quadratic formula. The roots would be

-13 plus or minus sqrt(169-4(-10)(3) )
x = -----------------------------------------------------
-20

Can you simplify this? Hint: sqrt(289) = plus or minus 17.
