The quadratic formula states that for an equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the solutions are given by x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. Substituting a = 2, b = 5, and c = -3 into the formula, we get x = (-5 ± √(5^2 - 4*2*(-3))) / 2*2. Solving further, x = (-5 ± √(25 + 24)) / 4, x = (-5 ± √49) / 4, x = (-5 ± 7) / 4. Therefore, x = -3 or x = 1/2.
