Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic equation to have two real number solutions, the discriminant must be positive. The discriminant of a quadratic equation is:

[tex]b^2-4ac[/tex]

This means that b^2 must be larger than 4ac. Since in this case 4ac is 4(1)(5)=20, b must be -5 out of the answer choices given. Hope this helps!
