The roots of an equation means the solutions of an equation. Different methods have been developed for different kinds of equation. It is not possible to give an overview in one or two paragraphs, but in simpler cases, the same operation is done on both sides of the equation, with the aim of "isolating" the variable you are solving for, that is, having it alone on one side. In some complicated cases, no "explicit" solutions exist, and "numerical" solutions have to be used; this basically means using trial-and-error.

z5 is an expression, not an equation and so cannot have roots.
To find the roots (solutions) of a quadratic equation.
The roots of the equation
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is zero then it will have 2 equal roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have 2 different roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is less than zero then it will have no roots.
Either "roots" or "solutions".
