x  - 5*x + 14 = 0
$$x^{2} - 5 x + 14 = 0$$
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -5$$
$$c = 14$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-5)^2 - 4 * (1) * (14) = -31

Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = \frac{5}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{31} i}{2}$$
Simplify
$$x_{2} = \frac{5}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{31} i}{2}$$
Simplify
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = -5$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 14$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = 5$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = 14$$
