x%5E2+-3x+=+-6x-1
x%5E2+-3x%2B6x%2B1+=+0
x%5E2+%2B+3x+%2B+1=+0
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+3%5E2-4%2A1%2A1+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+9-4+%29%29%2F2+
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+5%29%29%2F2+
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+%282.24%29%29%2F2+


x1+=+%28-3+%2B+2.24%29%2F2+
x1+=+-0.76%2F2+
x1+=+-0.38......first solution

x2+=+%28-3+-+2.24%29%2F2+
x2+=+-5.24%2F2+..
x2+=+-2.62..second solution
check:
x%5E2+-3x+=+-6x-1
%28-0.38%29%5E2+-3%28-0.38%29+=+-6%28-0.38%29-1
0.14+%2B+1.14++=+2.28%961
1.28=+1.28
