What are the two solutions of 2x2 = –x2 – 5x – 1?

A solution is an x-value that makes the two expressions equal. On the graphs, that means the point has the same y-value on both curves, so it is an intersection point; the solutions are the x-coordinates of those points. Therefore, the correct choice is “the x-coordinates of the intersection points.”
