Solve for x


\begin{gathered} 6x^2-11x=10 \\ 6x^2-11x-10=0 \end{gathered}

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


6x^2-11x-10=0

For this equation: a=6, b=-11, c= -10

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=6, b=-11, c=-10.


\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \\ x=\frac{-(-11)\pm\sqrt[]{(-11)^2^{}-4*6*-10}}{2*6} \\ \\ x=\frac{11\pm\sqrt[]{361}}{12} \\ \\ x=\frac{5}{2\text{ }}\text{ or x=}-(2)/(3) \end{gathered}

Answer


x=\frac{5}{2\text{ }}\text{ or x=}-(2)/(3)
