What are the two solutions of 2 x squared is equal to negative x squared minus 5 x minus 1 ?

The solutions are the values of x that make the two expressions equal. On the graphs y = 2x² and y = −x² − 5x − 1, that happens where the graphs intersect, and the corresponding solution values are the x-coordinates of those points. Therefore, the correct choice is the x-coordinates of the intersection points.
