Answer:


x_1=1.23\\x_2=-0.40

Explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in the form
ax^2+bx+c=0, you can use the Quadratic formula to solve it. This is:


x=(-b\±√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

Then, you need to subtract
5x from both sides of the equation given:


5x-5x=6x^2-3-5x\\0=6x^2-5x-3

You can identify that:


a=6\\b=-5\\c=-3

Then, substituting values into the Quadratic formula, you get:


x=(-(-5)\±√((-5)^2-4(6)(-3)))/(2(6))


x_1=1.23\\x_2=-0.40
