Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve:
This will not factor so use the quadratic formula:
where, from your equation:
a = 1, b = 2, c = 5

or
As you can see, there are solutions to the equation but they are not real solutions, they are complex solutions.
