This is a quadratic equation, i.e. an equation involving a polynomial of degree 2. To solve them, you must rearrange them first, so that all terms are on the same side, so we get
i.e. now we're looking for the roots of the polynomial. To find them, we can use the following formula:
where is a compact way to indicate both solutions
and
, while
are the coefficients of the quadratic equation, i.e. we consider the polynomial
.
So, in your case, we have
Plug those values into the formula to get
So, the two solutions are
Both functions decrease at (-1, 2)

The polynomial function f(x) is represented by the graph.
From the graph, the polynomial function decreases at (-2, 2)
The absolute function is given as;
f(x) = =5|x + 1| + 10
The vertex of the above function is
Vertex = (-1, 10)
Because a is negative (a= -5), the vertex is a maximum.
This means that the function decreases at (-1, ∞)
So, we have
(-2, 2) and (-1, ∞)
Combine both intervals
(-1, 2)
This means that both functions decrease at (-1, 2)
See attachment 2 for the number line that represents the interval where both functions are decreasing
