Simplify the expresssion 2x^2+8+3x^2+4x-10

x= 0.348 OR X= -1.148

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

2x^2+8+3x^2+4x-10

The first step is to rearrange the parameters given, by doing so, we have:

= 2x^2 +3x^2 +4x -10+8

= 5x^2 +4x - 2

The above equation forms the basis of a quadratic equation;

So using quadratic formula

= (-b +/- (√b^2-4ac))/2a

= (-4 +/- (√4^2 -4*5*(-2))/2*5

= -4 +/- (√ 16 - (-40))/10

=( -4 +/- √ 56 ) / 10

=( -4 +√ 56 ) / 10 OR =( -4 - √ 56 ) / 10

= (-4 + 7.48)/10 OR (-4 -7.48)/10

= 3.48/10 OR -11.48/10

= 0.348 OR. -1.148

SO, x= 0.348 OR X= -1.148
