Answer:


\sf x=1, \ x = -1(2)/(5)

Step-by-step explanation:


\hookrightarrow \sf 5x^2 + 2x - 7=0

the common multiple of 5 and 7 is 35: 7 * 5


\hookrightarrow \sf 5x^2 + 7x-5x - 7=0

breakdown


\hookrightarrow \sf x(5x + 7)-1(5x + 7 )=0

group the integers


\hookrightarrow \sf (x-1)(5x+7)=0

separate the parenthesis


\hookrightarrow \sf x-1=0, \ 5x +7 = 0

change sides


\hookrightarrow \sf x=1, \ 5x = -7

in improper faction


\hookrightarrow \sf x=1, \ x = (-7)/(5)

Final answer in mixed fraction


\hookrightarrow \sf x=1, \ x = -1(2)/(5)
