You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your way? Do you have a different quadratic formula??

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%28-14+%2B-+sqrt%28+14%5E2-4%2A5%2A%28-3%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A5%29+
x+=+%28-14+%2B-+sqrt%28+196%2B60+%29%29%2F%2810%29+
x+=+%28-14+%2B-+sqrt%28+256+%29%29%2F%2810%29+
x+=+%28-14+%2B-+16%29%2F%2810%29+
Take it from there and solve for the two solutions.
