    x = - 1/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Solve for x over the real numbers:

    10 x^3 - 13 x^2 + 12 x + 3 = 0

    The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

    (5 x + 1) (2 x^2 - 3 x + 3) = 0

    Split into two equations:

    5 x + 1 = 0 or 2 x^2 - 3 x + 3 = 0

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    5 x = - 1 or 2 x^2 - 3 x + 3 = 0

    Divide both sides by 5:

    x = - 1/5 or 2 x^2 - 3 x + 3 = 0

    Divide both sides by 2:

    x = - 1/5 or x^2 - (3 x) / 2 + 3/2 = 0

    Subtract 3/2 from both sides:

    x = - 1/5 or x^2 - (3 x) / 2 = - 3/2

    Add 9/16 to both sides:

    x = - 1/5 or x^2 - (3 x) / 2 + 9/16 = - 15/16

    Write the left hand side as a square:

    x = - 1/5 or (x - 3/4) ^2 = - 15/16

    (x - 3/4) ^2 = - 15/16 has no solution since for all x on the real line, (x - 3/4) ^2 >=0 and - 15/16<0:

    Answer: x = - 1/5
