Answer

$y=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{29}}{2} $

Work Step by Step

Using $x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ (or the Quadratic Formula), the solution/s of the given equation, $ y^2-3y=5 ,$ is/are \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} y^2-3y-5=0 \\\\ y=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2(1)} \\\\ y=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9+20}}{2} \\\\ y=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{29}}{2} .\end{array}
