Answer: Bottom of explanation

Explanation:

We need to get zero on one side so we can perform the quadratic formula on these. When we make the equation 0=x^2+6x-5, a=1, b=6, and c=-5. With our newfound knowledge, we can perform the quadratic formula,

-b+/-√b^2-4ac/2a

plugging in these numbers, we get two solutions through:


(-6+√(36^2-4(1*-5)))/(2*1)


(-6-√(36^2-4(1*-5)))/(2*1)

Solutions:


x_(1)=
-3+√(329)


x_(2)=
-3-√(329)
