To simplify x^2-3 =5x

You would first subtract 5x from both sides

X^3-5x-3

Next you would plug this into the quadratic equation:

X=5+/- the square root of: -5^2 -4(1)(-3)/2(1)

Then simplify,
5+/- the squareroot of 24 + 12 / 2

5+/- The squareroot of 36 /2

5+/- 6 / 2

Then solve if it’s an addition or subtract

5+6/2

X=11/2 or 5 1/2

5-6/2

X= -1/2

The answer is x=-1/2 or x=11/2

Hope this helps
