# -5 < x < 2 graph{x^2 + 3 x - 10 [-10.24, 9.76, -9.44, 0.56]}

Explanation:

x^2 < 10 -3 x
x^2 + 3 x - 10 < 0

(x + 5)(x - 2) < 0

........................-oo...........-5............2................+oo

(x + 5)........................-................+...................+...................
(x - 2)........................-................-....................+...................

(x + 5)(x - 2).........+................-....................+..................

therefore,

# -5 < x < 2
