a = 5; b = -35; c = -20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -352-4·5·(-20)
Δ = 1625
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1625}=\sqrt{25*65}=\sqrt{25}*\sqrt{65}=5\sqrt{65}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-35)-5\sqrt{65}}{2*5}=\frac{35-5\sqrt{65}}{10} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-35)+5\sqrt{65}}{2*5}=\frac{35+5\sqrt{65}}{10} $
