Answer: x= −5 /2 + 1 /2 √37 or x= −5 /2 + −1 /2 √37

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides.

x2+5x−3=3−3

x2+5x−3=0

For this equation: a=1, b=5, c=-3

1x2+5x+−3=0

Step 2: Use quadratic formula with a=1, b=5, c=-3.

x= −b±√b2−4ac /2a

x=

−(5)±√(5)2−4(1)(−3) /2(1)

x= −5±√37 /2

x= −5 /2 + 1 /2 √37 or x= −5 /2 + −1 /2 √37
