let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0

chemists are often responsible for designing a chemical reaction and analyzing the products obtained from it. one significant part of designing a chemical reaction is determining the amount of each reactant that is needed and the amount of each product that will be produced. in order to do so, chemists use stoichiometry, the quantitative relationships between reactants and products.
