(-3+sqrt1209)/103+120910 or (-3-sqrt1209)/103120910

Explanation:

5x^2 + 3x - 55 = 55x2+3x55=5

=5x^2 + 3x - 60 = 05x2+3x60=0

standard equation of quadratic equation,
ax^2 + bx + c = 0ax2+bx+c=0

Here,
a = 5, b = 3 and c = 60

by formula,
x = [-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/(2a)b±b24ac2a

So, x = [-3 +- sqrt(9 + 1200)]/(10)3±9+120010

therefore x = (-3+sqrt1209)/10 or (-3-sqrt1209)/10
