Find the equation you want on a MathJax site (our gchem book - this page)
Example: \[x = {-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}\over 2a}\]
Now control-click (or right click) the formula and a pop-up menu appears.
First menu item is "Show Math as" select that and then pick MathML code.
Copy and paste into your Canvas page.
