+x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+10+=+0+
Compare that to

{{ax^2+bx+c=0}}}

a=1, b=-6, c=10 

Substitute that in

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



x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+36+-+40%29%29%2F2

x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28-4%29%29%2F2

x+=+%286+%2B-+i%2Asqrt%284%29%29%2F2

x+=+%286+%2B-+2i%29%2F2

x+=+6%2F2+%2B-+2i%2F2

x+=+3+%2B-+i
