Cyosis - The question is not homework so I put it in general math. The actual question I'm trying is one on the initial velocity of an object required to catch another object released a second before it over a 50m displacement. Not that hard if I make my calculator solve it, just making a mess...

I have an equation which I ended up with as t^2 + t = 5.1 How do I then solve for t (without just plugging it into solve on the calculator)?
