Answer 1

x = 1/5

Answer 2

\[x^2 + 5x − 3 = 0\]


Quadratic formula would be the best,

Answer 3

@freakenpurplepizza not sure where you got that, but that is not it.

Answer 4

@tori67 SolomonZelman is pointing you the right direction.

Answer 5

\[\huge\color{blue}{x~~=~~~ \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} } \]

Answer 6

\[\huge\color{blue}{1} x^2+\huge\color{blue}{5} x-\huge\color{blue}{3} =0\]
compare to,\[\huge\color{blue}{a} x^2+\huge\color{blue}{b} x+\huge\color{blue}{c} =0\]
