Answer

{$-\frac{1}{5},-\frac{5}{3}$}

Work Step by Step

Factoring the equation and setting the factors equal to zero, we obtain: $15x^{2}+28x+5=0$ $15x^{2}+3x+25x+5=0$ $3x(5x+1)+5(5x+1)=0$ $(5x+1)(3x+5)=0$ $(5x+1)=0$ or $(3x+5)=0$ $x=-\frac{1}{5}$ or $x=-\frac{5}{3}$ Therefore, the solution set is {$-\frac{1}{5},-\frac{5}{3}$}.
