Answer:

x=-6.192

and

x=-0.807

Explanation:

1) turn this into a quadratic equation by moving it to the "10" to the right:

-x^2+7x-5=0

now quadratic equations are in the form of:

ax^2+bx+c

so substitute a=1

b=7

and c=-5 in the quadratic formula:
(-b+/-√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a)

so


(7+/-√(29) )/(-2)

lets do addition first:

so

(7+
√(29))/-2=-6.19258240357

lets do subtraction next:

(7-
√(29))/-2=-0.80741759643
