The given equation is:

The last constant term is 5, this can be factored as 5 * 1

Neither addtion of these two factors nor the subtraction gives us the middle term +2.

Hence, to find the roots of the equation, we use the quadratic formula. This is given by:

From the given equation, we find the values of a, b and c from the given equation.

Hence, a = 1, b = 2 and c = 5. Substitute these values in the above formula.

Hence, the answer.
