Answer

Please see the screenshot. $x= -1/2, 5$

Work Step by Step

$y=9x-2x^2+5$ $y=-2x^2+9x+5$ $a=-2$, $b=9$, $c=5$ $x=(-b±\sqrt {b^2-4ac})/2a$ $x=(-9±\sqrt {9^2-4*-2*5})/2*-2$ $x=(-9±\sqrt {81+4*2*5})/-4$ $x=(-9±\sqrt {81+40})/-4$ $x=(-9±\sqrt {121})/-4$ $x=(-9±11)/-4$ $x=(-9+11)/-4$ $x=2/-4$ $x=-1/2$ $x=(-9±11)/-4$ $x=(-9-11)/-4$ $x=-20/-4$ $x=5$
