Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 562-4·1·5
Δ = 3116
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{3116}=\sqrt{4*779}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{779}=2\sqrt{779}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(56)-2\sqrt{779}}{2*1}=\frac{-56-2\sqrt{779}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(56)+2\sqrt{779}}{2*1}=\frac{-56+2\sqrt{779}}{2}
