6A^2-5A-2
THIS ONE IS NOT AN EASY ONE & CAN ONLY BE SOLVED USING THE QUADRATIC EQUATION:
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
A=(5+-SQRT[-5^2-4*6*-2])/2*6
A=(5+-SQRT[25+48])/12
A=(5+-SQRT73)/12
A=(5+-8.544)/12
A=(5+8.544)/12
A=13.544/12
A=1.13 ANSWER.
A=(5-8.544)/12
A=-3.544/12
A=-.30 ANSWER.
