Use the quadratic formula to solve for x

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

x+=+%28-%28-3%29%2B-sqrt%28%28-3%29%5E2-4%281%29%286%29%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29

x+=+%283%2B-sqrt%289-%2824%29%29%29%2F%282%29

x+=+%283%2B-sqrt%28-15%29%29%2F2

x+=+%283%2Bsqrt%28-15%29%29%2F2 or x+=+%283-sqrt%28-15%29%29%2F2

x+=+%283%2Bi%2Asqrt%2815%29%29%2F2 or x+=+%283-i%2Asqrt%2815%29%29%2F2

The two solutions are x+=+%283%2Bi%2Asqrt%2815%29%29%2F2 or x+=+%283-i%2Asqrt%2815%29%29%2F2

Note: these are exact solutions and they are complex/imaginary solutions (ie non-real solutions).
