Answer

$x=-1$ and $x=\dfrac{2}{5}$ satisfy the given conditions

Work Step by Step

$y=5x^{2}+3x$ and $y=2$ Substitute $y$ by $2$: $2=5x^{2}+3x$ Take the $2$ to the right side of the equation: $0=5x^{2}+3x-2$ Rearrange: $5x^{2}+3x-2=0$ Solve by factoring: $(x+1)(5x-2)=0$ Set both factors equal to $0$ and solve each individual equation for $x$: $x+1=0$ $x=-1$ $5x-2=0$ $5x=2$ $x=\dfrac{2}{5}$ $x=-1$ and $x=\dfrac{2}{5}$ satisfy the given conditions
