t  + 10*t + 21 = 0
$$\left(t^{2} + 10 t\right) + 21 = 0$$
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*t^2 + b*t + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$t_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$t_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 10$$
$$c = 21$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(10)^2 - 4 * (1) * (21) = 16

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
t1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

t2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$t_{1} = -3$$
$$t_{2} = -7$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p t + q + t^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 10$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 21$$
Vieta Formulas
$$t_{1} + t_{2} = - p$$
$$t_{1} t_{2} = q$$
$$t_{1} + t_{2} = -10$$
$$t_{1} t_{2} = 21$$
