You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x%5E2+-+3x+%2B+1=0
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
a+=+2
b+=+-3
c+=+1
x+=+%28-%28-3%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-3%29%5E2-4%2A2%2A1+%29%29%2F%282%2A2%29+
x+=+%28+3+%2B-+sqrt%28+9+-+8+%29%29%2F+4+
x+=+%28+3+%2B-+1%29%2F+4+
x+=+1
x+=+1%2F2
If you plug these values into equation,
they both check OK
