What is the solution set for the following equation?

OpenStudy (lynx):

\[ 3x^2+11x+10=0 \]

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You can try solving by factoring.

OpenStudy (lynx):

@mathstudent55 am i on the right track? (3x+5)(x+2)=0 3x+5=0 or x+2=0 Overall i got \[\frac{ -5 }{ 3 } \] and and x=−2

OpenStudy (lynx):

Oh i mean \[(-\frac{ 5 }{ 3 },-2)\]

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.

OpenStudy (lynx):

Thanks you.

Since you are asked for a set, write the two solutions inside curly brackets, the ones used for sets, like this: { } The way you wrote the solution, it makes it look like an ordered pair, which it is not.
