Valery Mitchell · Answer 1

x equals 9 plus or minus the square root of 61, all over 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation for x by finding a, b, and c of the quadratic then applying the quadratic formula.

Simeon Cummings · Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

All those words, when the math is so much clearer!

x = (9±√ (9^2-4*1*5)) / 2 = (9±√101) / 2
