    15n² - n - 2

    Solution:

    Let

    15n² - n - 2 = 0

    By Factorizing

    15n² – 6n + 5n - 2 = 0
    3n (5n - 2) + 1 (5n - 2) = 0
    (5n - 2) (3n + 1) = 0

    Now

    5n – 2 = 0   ,   3n + 1 = 0
    5n = 2         ,   3n = - 1
    n = 2/5        ,    n = - 1/3

    Hence

    Solution Set = {2/5, -1/3}
    1 1
