Hi
2x^2 + 5x - 3 = 0 |Note: standard format ax^2 + bx + c
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%28-5+%2B-+sqrt%28+49+%29%29%2F%284%29+
x+=+%28-5+%2B-+7+%29%2F%284%29+
x = -12/4 = -3
x = 2/4 = 1/2

Solve this problem using the quadratic formula please.
2x^2 + 5X - 3 = 0
here a = 2, b = 5 , c = -3
quadratic formula x1 = (-b- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c))/(2*a)
x2 = (-b+ sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c))/(2*a)
x1 = (-5-sqrt(25+24))/4 = (-5-7)/4 = -3
x2 = (-5+sqrt(25+24))/4 = (-5+7)/4 = 1/2
