x 1 ​ = 2 an d x 2 ​ = − 5 ⇒ ( x − x 1 ​ ) ( x − x 2 ​ ) = ( x − 2 ) ( x + 5 ) = x 2 + 5 x − 2 x − 10 = . = x 2 + 3 x − 10 ⇒ A n s . a .

The equation that has both 2 and -5 as solutions is option A: x 2 + 3 x − 10 = 0 . This is derived from expressing the solutions in factored form and expanding it. The other options do not match this equation.
