Given equation: 5x2-6x-2=0

Using the completing square method, we first divide the equation by 5 then try to make the left side of the equation a perfect square. 

5x2-6x-2=0

x2-65x-25=0 

x2-65x=25 

x2-2×x×35+(35)2=25+(35)2

x-352=25+925

x-352=1025+925

x-352=1925

x-35=±195 

x=3±195 

Hence, the value of the roots is 3±195.
