Taking 2x² + 6x - 5  =  0 and using the on-site calculator, we have....

 

 

 

2×x2+6×x5=0{x=(19+3)2x=(193)2}{x=3.6794494717703368x=0.6794494717703368}

Rearrange the terms on the left side:

2x² - 5  =  -6x

Add 6x to both sides:

2x² + 6x - 5  =  0

This is not easily factored; so I would suggest that you use the quadratic formula:

  x  =  [ -b ± √( b² - 4ac ) ] / ( 2a )

where, for this problem,  a = 2,  b = 6,  and  c = -5.
