2+60x+225x^2

Let's rearrange things slightly...we have...

225x2 + 60x + 2 = 0

I can tell right away that this won't factor.

Using the on-site solver, we have

 $${\mathtt{225}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{x}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{60}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{x}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{2}} = {\mathtt{0}} = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}{\mathtt{x}} = {\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\frac{\left({\sqrt{{\mathtt{2}}}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{2}}\right)}{{\mathtt{15}}}}\\
{\mathtt{x}} = {\frac{\left({\sqrt{{\mathtt{2}}}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{2}}\right)}{{\mathtt{15}}}}\\
\end{array} \right\}$$

The 'quadratic formula" would give us this answer, too. It's pretty messy, no matter which way you go......
