Complexity=1, Mode=easy

Solve using the quadratic formula   x = (-b ± √b2 - 4ac) / 2a,   separating answers with commas. If there is no solution, write "no solution". Sample answers:

4,   3/2
4 + sqrt(4),   4 - sqrt(3)
(1 + 2sqrt(3)) / 2,   (1 - 2sqrt(3)) / 2

1.   -x 2 + x + 6 = 0
x =
2.   x 2 - 8x + 15 = 0
x =

Complexity=1, Mode=normal
