2x^{2}+6x-2\left(3x+5\right)+x>0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x by x+3.
2x^{2}+6x-6x-10+x>0

2x^{2}-10+x>0
Combine 6x and -6x to get 0.
2x^{2}-10+x=0
To solve the inequality, factor the left hand side. Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{-1±\sqrt{1^{2}-4\times 2\left(-10\right)}}{2\times 2}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute 2 for a, 1 for b, and -10 for c in the quadratic formula.

Consider the case when x-2 and x+\frac{5}{2} are both positive.
x>2
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x>2.
x<-\frac{5}{2}\text{; }x>2
The final solution is the union of the obtained solutions.
