Solve this equation using the quadratic formula:

-3x^2 - 2x -5 = 0

You are given that -3x[sup:e7jdj9pp]2[/sup:e7jdj9pp] + (-2)x + (-5) = ax[sup:e7jdj9pp]2[/sup:e7jdj9pp] + bx + c, and told to use the Quadratic Formula to solve for the value(s) of x.

So plug the given values into the given formula, and simplify to find the required values.
