a+b=12 ab=5\left(-9\right)=-45
To solve the equation, factor the left hand side by grouping. First, left hand side needs to be rewritten as 5x^{2}+ax+bx-9. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
-1,45 -3,15 -5,9
Since ab is negative, a and b have the opposite signs. Since a+b is positive, the positive number has greater absolute value than the negative. List all such integer pairs that give product -45.
-1+45=44 -3+15=12 -5+9=4
Calculate the sum for each pair.
a=-3 b=15
The solution is the pair that gives sum 12.
\left(5x^{2}-3x\right)+\left(15x-9\right)

x=\frac{-12±\sqrt{12^{2}-4\times 5\left(-9\right)}}{2\times 5}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 5 for a, 12 for b, and -9 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-12±\sqrt{144-4\times 5\left(-9\right)}}{2\times 5}
Square 12.
x=\frac{-12±\sqrt{144-20\left(-9\right)}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -4 times 5.
x=\frac{-12±\sqrt{144+180}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -20 times -9.
x=\frac{-12±\sqrt{324}}{2\times 5}
Add 144 to 180.
x=\frac{-12±18}{2\times 5}
Take the square root of 324.
x=\frac{-12±18}{10}
Multiply 2 times 5.
x=\frac{6}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-12±18}{10} when ± is plus. Add -12 to 18.
x=\frac{3}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=-\frac{30}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-12±18}{10} when ± is minus. Subtract 18 from -12.
x=-3
Divide -30 by 10.
x=\frac{3}{5} x=-3
The equation is now solved.

5x^{2}+12x-9=0
Combine 9x and 3x to get 12x.
5x^{2}+12x=9
Add 9 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{5x^{2}+12x}{5}=\frac{9}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x^{2}+\frac{12}{5}x=\frac{9}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x^{2}+\frac{12}{5}x+\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{9}{5}+\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^{2}
Divide \frac{12}{5}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get \frac{6}{5}. Then add the square of \frac{6}{5} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}+\frac{12}{5}x+\frac{36}{25}=\frac{9}{5}+\frac{36}{25}
Square \frac{6}{5} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
x^{2}+\frac{12}{5}x+\frac{36}{25}=\frac{81}{25}
Add \frac{9}{5} to \frac{36}{25} by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
\left(x+\frac{6}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{81}{25}
Factor x^{2}+\frac{12}{5}x+\frac{36}{25}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x+\frac{6}{5}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{81}{25}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x+\frac{6}{5}=\frac{9}{5} x+\frac{6}{5}=-\frac{9}{5}
Simplify.
x=\frac{3}{5} x=-3
Subtract \frac{6}{5} from both sides of the equation.
