Final Step in the Factoring Procedure for Equipment Sizing

A manufacturing technician is solving a quadratic equation by factoring to determine the correct dimensions for a custom packaging box. The technician starts with the equation 2x28x10=0{}2x^2 - 8x - 10 = 0. After factoring the expression and solving the resulting linear equations, the technician finds two possible numerical values. According to the five-step procedure for solving quadratic equations by factoring, describe the fifth and final step the technician must perform to confirm these values are correct.
