Hi, 

x^2+35=5x

x^2 -5x +35 = 0

Solve using the quadratic formula

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+

x+=+%285+%2B-+sqrt%28+25-+140+%29%29%2F%282%29+

x+=+%285+%2B-+sqrt%28+-115+%29%29%2F%282%29+



The discriminant -115 is less than zero. 

That means that there are no solutions among real numbers
