Hi,  

   Solving using the quadratic formula    

    x^2+6y-1=0 

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

  x+=+%28-6+%2B-+sqrt%28+40%29%29%2F%282%29+ 

    x+=+%28-6+%2B-+sqrt%284%2A10%29%29%2F%282%29+

    x+=+%28-6+%2B-+2%2Asqrt%2810%29%29%2F%282%29+ 

    x+=+highlight%28+-3+%2B-+sqrt%2810%29%29+ in radical form
