x=(-6+- sqrt116) / 4

Explanation:

1) Begin by setting the equation equal to zero
2x^2 +6x -10 =0
Then you can solve the equation using factoring or plugging it into the equation x = (-b+- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)
Since this equation is particularly difficult to factor, we plug the numbers's into the equation sateted previously where
a=2, b=6, and c=-10
