5x%5E2%2B3x%2B1=0
Use the quadratic formula,
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+3%5E2-4%2A5%2A1+%29%29%2F%282%2A5%29+
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+9-20%29%29%2F%2810%29+
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28-11%29%29%2F10
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%2811%29%2Ai%29%2F10
highlight%28x+=+-%283%2F10%29+%2B-+%28sqrt%2811%29%2F10%29%2Ai%29
