    Simplifying:

    2x2 + - 8x + - 90 = 0

    Reorder the terms:

    -90 + - 8x + 2x2 = 0

    Solving

    -90 + - 8x + 2x2 = 0

    Solving for variable 'x'.

    Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.

    2 (-45 + - 4x + x2) = 0

    Factor a trinomial.

    2 ((-5 + - 1x) (9 + - 1x)) = 0

    Ignore the factor 2.

    Subproblem 1:

    Set the factor ' (-5 + - 1x) ' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

    Simplifying

    -5 + - 1x = 0

    Solving

    -5 + - 1x = 0

    Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

    Add '5' to each side of the equation.

    -5 + 5 + - 1x = 0 + 5

    Combine like terms:

    -5 + 5 = 0 0 + - 1x = 0 + 5 - 1x = 0 + 5

    Combine like terms:

    0 + 5 = 5 - 1x = 5

    Divide each side by '-1'.

    x = - 5

    Simplifying

    x = - 5

    Subproblem 2:

    Set the factor ' (9 + - 1x) ' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

    Simplifying

    9 + - 1x = 0

    Solving

    9 + - 1x = 0

    Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

    Add '-9' to each side of the equation.

    9 + - 9 + - 1x = 0 + - 9

    Combine like terms:

    9 + - 9 = 0 0 + - 1x = 0 + - 9 - 1x = 0 + - 9

    Combine like terms:

    0 + - 9 = - 9 - 1x = - 9

    Divide each side by '-1'.

    x = 9

    Simplifying x = 9

    Solution

    x = {-5, 9}
