In copying a quadratic equation of the form `x^2 +px +q=0`,a student wrote the coefficients of ` x ` incorrectly and the roots were found to be 3 and 10; another student wrote the same equation but he wrote the constant term incorrectly and thus, he found the roots to be 4 and 7. The roots of the correct equation are
