To find a solution we will need to apply the quadratic equation, which says the roots of a quadratic equation in the form are:

.
To use the quadratic equation we must first a, b and c, which, for this problem, are a = 1, b = -5 and c = 3. Substituting them into the quadratic, we get:

.
So there are two roots to this eqaution, and . To test the correctness of this answer, substitute the roots in to the equation.
