    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the quadratic equation,

    2x²-7x-15

    To get the solution to the equation, we need to factorise as shown:

    x = - b±√b²-4ac/2a

    a = 2, b = - 7, c = - 15

    x = - (-7) ±√ (-7) ²+4 (2) (-15) / 2 (2)

    x = 7±√49+120/4

    x = 7±√169/4

    x = 7±13/4

    x = 7+13/4 or 7-13/4

    x = 20/4 or - 6/4

    x = 5 or - 3/2

    It can be described that the final answer to the system of equation are 5 and - 3/2 which are both an integer and a fraction
