To solve the equation , we will first rearrange it into standard quadratic form:
Next, we will apply the quadratic formula:
where (a = 2), (b = 10), and (c = 35).
Step 1: Calculate the Discriminant
Since the discriminant is negative, the solutions will be complex.
Step 2: Substitute into the Quadratic Formula
Step 3: Simplify \
We can express this using :
