Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·2·3
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-1}{2*2}=\frac{-6}{4}
=-1+1/2
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+1}{2*2}=\frac{-4}{4}
=-1
