    X^2 + 5x = - 2

    x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

    x = - b (+-) sqrt (b^2 - 4ac) / 2a

    a = 1, b = 5, and c = 2

    x = - 5 (+-) sqrt (5^2 - 4 (1) (2)) / 2 (1)

    x = - 5 (+-) sqrt (25 - 8) / 2

    x = - 5 (+-) sqrt (17) / 2

    answer is : negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 17 divided by 2
