To solve the equation `x^{2}-4x-5=0`, we can use the quadratic formula:
`x = (-(-4) +- sqrt((-4)^2 - 4*1*(-5))) / 2*1`
Solving this equation gives us two solutions:
`x = (4 +- sqrt(16 + 20)) / 2`
`x = (4 +- sqrt(36)) / 2`
`x = (4 +- 6) / 2`
Therefore, the solutions are:
`x = (4 + 6) / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5`
`x = (4 - 6) / 2 = -2 / 2 = -1`
So the solutions are `x = 5` and `x = -1`.
