x=-b+/- sqrt (b^2-4ac) divided by 2a a is -3, b is 11, and c is -5
x=(-11)(+/- sqrt (121-60)) all divided by -6

numerical is 0.532 and 3.13

0=-3x%5E2%2B11x-5+.....use quadratic formula

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
in your case a=-3, b=11, and c=-5
x+=+%28-11+%2B-+sqrt%28+11%5E2-4%2A%28-3%29%2A%28-5%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A%28-3%29%29+
x+=+%28-11+%2B-+sqrt%28+121-60+%29%29%2F%28-6%29+
x+=+%28-11+%2B-+sqrt%28+61+%29%29%2F%28-6%29+
exact solutions:
x+=+-11%2F-6+%2B+sqrt%28+61+%29%2F6+ ->x+=+11%2F6+%2B+sqrt%28+61+%29%2F6+
x+=+-11%2F-6+-+sqrt%28+61+%29%2F6+ x+=+11%2F6+-+sqrt%28+61+%29%2F6+
