Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
1.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '1.5'.
21 + 10x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-21' to each side of the equation.
21 + 10x + -21 + x2 = 0 + -21

Reorder the terms:
21 + -21 + 10x + x2 = 0 + -21

Combine like terms: 21 + -21 = 0
0 + 10x + x2 = 0 + -21
10x + x2 = 0 + -21

Combine like terms: 0 + -21 = -21
10x + x2 = -21

The x term is 10x.  Take half its coefficient (5).
Square it (25) and add it to both sides.

Add '25' to each side of the equation.
10x + 25 + x2 = -21 + 25

Reorder the terms:
25 + 10x + x2 = -21 + 25

Combine like terms: -21 + 25 = 4
25 + 10x + x2 = 4

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 5)(x + 5) = 4

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 5) equal to 2 and -2.

Subproblem 1

x + 5 = 2 Simplifying x + 5 = 2 Reorder the terms: 5 + x = 2 Solving 5 + x = 2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5' to each side of the equation. 5 + -5 + x = 2 + -5 Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0 0 + x = 2 + -5 x = 2 + -5 Combine like terms: 2 + -5 = -3 x = -3 Simplifying x = -3

Subproblem 2

x + 5 = -2 Simplifying x + 5 = -2 Reorder the terms: 5 + x = -2 Solving 5 + x = -2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5' to each side of the equation. 5 + -5 + x = -2 + -5 Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0 0 + x = -2 + -5 x = -2 + -5 Combine like terms: -2 + -5 = -7 x = -7 Simplifying x = -7

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-3, -7}
