You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I fixed your question for you I think:
The quadratic formula is
%28-b+%2B+sqrt%28b%5E2+-+4ac%29%29%2F2a
and
%28-b+-+sqrt%28b%5E2+-+4ac%29%29%2F2a
So you have a = 3, b = 1, c = -5
%28-1+%2B+sqrt%2861%29%29%2F6
%28-1+-+sqrt%2861%29%29%2F6
Two answers, one is plus and minus
