x=\frac{-{\color{#e8710a}{b}} \pm \sqrt{{\color{#e8710a}{b}}^{2}-4{\color{#c92786}{a}}{\color{#129eaf}{c}}}}{2{\color{#c92786}{a}}}
x=2a−b±b2−4ac
Once in standard form, identify a, b, and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.

a={\color{#c92786}{1}}
a=1

b={\color{#e8710a}{5}}
b=5
