You can put this solution on YOUR website! (2x-5)^2+4(2x-5)+3=0 -------
 Let 2x-5 = w
 ===================
 w^2+4w+3 = 0
 Factor:
 (w+3)(w+1) = 0
 w = -3 or w = -1
 --------------------
 Solve for "x":
 2x-5 = -3
 2x = 2
 x = 1
 ------
 OR
 ---
 2x-5 = -1
 2x = 4
 x = 2
 -------
 Final Solution: x = 1 or x = 2
