You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'll show you how this is done for one value, and then you can do the other.

-x%5E2-5x-6
-%28-3%29%5E2-5%28-3%29-6
-9%2B15-6
0

Just put the value you are supposed to use into the expression everywhere you see the variable, and then do the arithmetic.

If you are still having difficulty, write back.
