x2-2x-5.25 = 0

When factored:

(x-7/2)(x+3/2) = 0

Therefore: x = 7/2 and also x = -3/2

To solve a quadratic equation use the formula:

x = -b/2a + and also - the square root of b2-4ac over 2a

Whereas in this particular equation: a = 1, b = -2 and c = -5.25

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
