x%5E2%2B.59x-53.86=0

a=1, b=.59, c=-53.86

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



x+=+%28-.59+%2B-+sqrt%28.3481%2B215.44+%29%29%2F2+

x+=+%28-.59+%2B-+sqrt%28215.7881+%29%29%2F2+

x+=+%28-.59+%2B-+14.6897277%29%2F2+

Solution using +

x+=+%28-.59+%2B+14.6897277%29%2F2+
x+=+14.0997277%2F2+
x+=+7.049863852

Solution using -

x+=+%28-.59+-+14.6897277%29%2F2+
x+=+-14.6897277%2F2+
x+=+-7.639863852
