Well, to make it easier, we can first multiply both sides by -1
\n" ); document.write( "(-x^2-3x+5)(-1) = 0(-1)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+3x-5 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Now use the quardratic formula to solve
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-3%2B-sqrt%283%5E2-4%281%29%28-5%29%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-3%2B-sqrt%2829%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "SO the answer can be $\"%28-3%2Bsqrt%2829%29%2F2%29\"$ or $\"%28-3-sqrt%2829%29%2F2%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
