Answer

{$-\frac{2}{5},1$}

Work Step by Step

$5x^{2}-3x-2=0$ $5x^{2}-5x+2x-2=0$ $5x(x-1)+2(x-1)=0$ $(x-1)(5x+2)=0$ $(x-1)=0$ or $(5x+2)=0$ $x=1$ or $x=-\frac{2}{5}$ Check: Substituting $x=1$ in the equation, $5(1)^{2}-3(1)-2=0$ $5-3-2=0$ $5-5=0$ $0=0$ Substituting $x=-\frac{2}{5}$ in the equation, $5(-\frac{2}{5})^{2}-3(-\frac{2}{5})-2=0$ $\frac{20}{25}+\frac{6}{5}-2=0$ $\frac{4}{5}+\frac{6}{5}-2=0$ $\frac{10}{5}-2=0$ $2-2=0$ $0=0$ Both values check and the solution set is {$-\frac{2}{5},1$}
