15.42 I think. the number is much longer, so I lowered it to the two numbers after the decimal. if I'm not correct, I'm sorry...
Answer:x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The solutions for ‘x’ in the given equation are – 3 and - 7
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given equation:

To find the ‘x’ value, try to factor, because in this case it works, it's fast. By using factor method, we get
(x + 3) (x + 7) = 0 (adding both value we get 10 and multiply as 21 as in equation and check with signs also while factoring)
x = - 3, -7
Verify above values by multiply both terms,
(x + 3) (x + 7) = 0

(so values obtained from factor method are correct)
Or, can use quadratic formula, for
, the solutions are given by:

In the given equation, a = 1, b = 10, c = 21, apply these in above formula


So,
When 
When 
Hence, the values for ‘x’ are - 3 and - 7
