Answer

Given,

⇒ 15x2 - 28 = x

⇒ 15x2 - x - 28 = 0

⇒ 15x2 - 21x + 20x - 28 = 0

⇒ 3x(5x - 7) + 4(5x - 7) = 0

⇒ (5x - 7)(3x + 4) = 0

⇒ (5x - 7) = 0 or (3x + 4) = 0      [Using Zero-product rule]

⇒ 5x = 7 or 3x = - 4

⇒ x = 75\dfrac{7}{5} or x = 43\dfrac{-4}{3}

Hence, x = {43,75}\Big{\dfrac{-4}{3}, \dfrac{7}{5}\Big}.
