Equations of the kind you have written can have a surprisingly large number of solutions. In the example you give, if a is any real number, b is any non-zero real number, and c and d satisfy
c = -(a^2+3*2+5)/b
d = -(a+2)
then
X = [a b;c d]
always satisfies the equation X^2+2*X+5*eye(2) = 0. Thus this equation has a two-dimensional infinite continuum of possible solutions.
