When you have an expression to the power of (1/2) that means the same thing as having a square root.
Lets call a=x
To get rid of the square root we square both sides getting:
2x^2+5x+2 = 3^2
Simplifying this we get: 2x^2+5x+2=9
We can subtract 9 from both sides getting: 2x^2+5x-7
Now when we solve for this we can use the quadratic formula:
(-b + / - sqrt (b^2-4ac)) / 2a
a=2, b=5, c=-7
Plugging in we end up with : (-5 + / - sqrt (81)) / 4
This simplifies to : (-5 + / - 9) / 4 ... (-5 + (-9)) / 4 OR (-5 - (-9)) / 4
we have x = - 14/4, 1
