2x^2+6x+5=0\ \ \ \ /:2\\\\x^2+3x+2.5=0\\\\x^2+2x\cdot1.5=-2.5\\\\x^2+2x\cdot1.5+1.5^2-1.5^2=-2.5\\\\(x+1.5)^2-2.25=-2.5\\\\(x+1.5)^2=-2.5+2.25\\\\(x+1.5)^2=-0.25 < 0\ aren't\ real\ roots\ because\ for\ x\in\mathbb{R},\ a^2\geq0

2x^2 + 6x + 5 = 0


x= (-b+/- √(b^2 -4ac) )/(2a)


x= (-(6)+/- √((6)^2 -4(2)(5)) )/(2(2))


x= (-6+/- √(36 -40) )/(4)


x= (-6+/- √(-4) )/(4)


x= (-6+/- i√(4) )/(4)


x= (-6+/- 2i )/(4)
