Learn how to solve quadratic equations problems step by step online. Solve the quadratic equation x^2+3x+10=20. Group the terms of the equation by moving the terms that have the variable x to the left side, and those that do not have it to the right side. Subtract the values 20 and -10. Rewrite the equation. To find the roots of a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c we use the quadratic formula, where in this case a=1, b=3 and c=-10. Then substitute the values of the coefficients of the equation in the quadratic formula: \displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

Final Answer

$x=2,\:x=-5$
