To solve the quadratic equation \(2x^2 + 5x^2 - 7 = 0\), first combine like terms:
\[ (2 + 5)x^2 - 7 = 0 \]
\[ 7x^2 - 7 = 0 \]
Next, add \(7\) to both sides:
\[ 7x^2 = 7 \]
Now, divide both sides by \(7\):
\[ x^2 = 1 \]
Taking the square root of both sides gives:
\[ x = \pm 1 \]
Thus, the solutions to the equation \(2x^2 + 5x^2 - 7 = 0\) are:
\[ x = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -1 \]
