You use the quadratic formula:
2x {}^{2} - 3x = 5
2x {}^{2} - 3x - 5 = 0
x = \frac{3 + - \sqrt{9 -4(2)( - 5)}}{2 \times 2}
x = \frac{3 + - \sqrt{49} }{4}
x = \frac{3 + 7}{4} \: and \: x = \frac{3 - 7}{4}
x = \frac{5}{2} \: and \: x = - 1

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the general form of the exponential decay formula is
, where y is final amount remaining after t time, A is the original amount and r is the rate of decay
Now, the ratio of strontium-90 remaining, p , as a function of years, t , since the nuclear accident. 
Hence, the ratio of remaining since the nuclear accident is
