x%5E2-5x%2B50=0
Using the quadratic formula,
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%28-%28-5%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-5%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A50+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
x+=+%285+%2B-+sqrt%28+25-200+%29%29%2F%282%29+
x+=+%285+%2B-+sqrt%28+-175+%29%29%2F%282%29+
x+=+%285+%2B-+sqrt%28+175+%29i%29%2F%282%29+
