You write the equation in such a way that you have zero on the right side. Then you graph the expression on the left side of the equal sign, and check where it touches the x-axis. Note that this method works for most common equations.

Plot the equation on the Cartesian plane and normally where the parabola intersects with the x axis this is the solution to the quadratic equation.
Presumably this is a quadratic equation question asking you to find the solution of 2x2+9x-5 = 0 First factorise the expression in the equation in order to find its solution. (2x-1)(x+5) = 0 Solution: x = 1/2 or x = -5
That's not an equation - it doesn't have an equal sign. Assuming you mean 2x2 - 3x - 90 = 0, you can find the solution, or usually the two solutions, of such equations with the quadratic formula. In this case, replace a = 2, b = -3, c = -90.
For an equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 you can find the values of x that will satisfy the equation using the quadratic equation: x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
