The correct steps are:
start with

Add 1 to both sides:

The left hand side is a perfect square:

Hiii
all you do is subtract...
534-476=58
58 spots are left.
there are 6 sides to a hexagon
360/6 = 60 degrees
so it will map onto itself at 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 & 360
there are 6 different angles
Your x values are 1.24 and -0.404.
First you need to make the equation equal 0, and you can do this simply by subtracting 5x, so you get
6x² - 3 - 5x = 0
The quadratic formula is (-b +- √b² - 4ac)/2a, where a is the x², b is the x, and c is the value. This means we can just substitute it in.
You find the value of the part inside the square root, which is -5² - 4 × 6 × -3 = 97. Now we can use this to substitute in to (5 +- √97)/12. We can do it with the plus sign, and get 1.24, and then with the subtract sign and get -0.404.
I hope this helps!
