Only x=5
is a solution
Only x is equal to 5 is a solution

Neither x=2
nor x=5
are solutions.
Neither x is equal to 2 nor x is equal to 5 are solutions.

Only x=2
is a solution
Only x is equal to 2 is a solution

Both x=2
and x=5
are solutions
Both x is equal to 2 and x is equal to 5 are solutions

Answer 1

Both are solutions.

Check:
- x = 2: 2^2 − 7(2) + 10 = 4 − 14 + 10 = 0
- x = 5: 5^2 − 7(5) + 10 = 25 − 35 + 10 = 0

So both x = 2 and x = 5 are solutions.
