Use the quadratic formula to solve for x.

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

x+=+%28-%285%29%2B-sqrt%28%285%29%5E2-4%281%29%286%29%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29

x+=+%28-5%2B-sqrt%2825-%2824%29%29%29%2F%282%29

x+=+%28-5%2B-sqrt%281%29%29%2F2

x+=+%28-5%2Bsqrt%281%29%29%2F2 or x+=+%28-5-sqrt%281%29%29%2F2

x+=+%28-5%2B1%29%2F2 or x+=+%28-5-1%29%2F2

x+=+-4%2F2 or x+=+-6%2F2

x+=+-2 or x+=+-3
