a = 1; b = -5; c = +2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -52-4·1·2
Δ = 17
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)-\sqrt{17}}{2*1}=\frac{5-\sqrt{17}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)+\sqrt{17}}{2*1}=\frac{5+\sqrt{17}}{2}
