Question
![**Using the Quadratic Formula to Solve Equations**
To solve the equation using the quadratic formula, ensure you simplify your answers and provide both solutions separated by a comma.
Equation to solve:
\[ x^2 + 2x - 2 = 0 \]
For example, if the solution for \( x \) is given by:
\[ \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{15}}{4} \]
Enter the solution as:
- \((-5-\text{sqrt}(15))/4\) for the first solution and
- \((-5+\text{sqrt}(15))/4\) for the second solution.
**Note:** Ensure the placement of parentheses is correct in your input to avoid errors. Use the PREVIEW button to check your answer before submitting.
**Input Box:**
\[ x = \]
