Add 3 to each side and subtract it to get:
2x25x2=0
This is in the form:
ax2+bx+c=0
with a=2, b=5 and c=2
We can use the quadratic formula to determine the solutions:
x=b±b24ac2a
x=5±(5)24(2)(2)22
x=5±25+164
x=54±414

2x25x+1=3
aaaaaaa3a3aaa Take 3 away from both sides.
2x25x2=0
Use the quadratic formula because this equation cannot be factored.
You can't use 'macro parameter character #' in math mode
a=2,b=5,c=2
x=(5)±(5)24(2)(2)22
x=5±414
