Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 292-4·5·20
Δ = 441
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{441}=21$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(29)-21}{2*5}=\frac{-50}{10}
=-5
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(29)+21}{2*5}=\frac{-8}{10}
=-4/5
