Answer:

  C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation can be solved any of several ways. One that doesn't require much thought is using the quadratic formula.

For ax² +bx +c = 0, the solutions are ...

  x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In the given equation, a=2, b=11, c=5, so this becomes ...

  x=\dfrac{-11\pm\sqrt{11^2-4\cdot2\cdot5}}{2\cdot2}=\dfrac{-11\pm\sqrt{81}}{4}\\\\x=\dfrac{-11\pm9}{4}=\left\{-\dfrac{20}{4},-\dfrac{2}{4}\right\}=\{-5,-\frac{1}{2}\}

The solutions are ...

  C. x = -5

  D. x = -1/2

_____

My personal favorite is using a graphing calculator. The solutions are the x-intercepts of the expression on the left. That is, where its value is zero, as the equation says.
