((x^2)-x)/2=36

Solution for ((x^2)-x)/2=36 equation:

((x^2)-x)/2=36

We move all terms to the left:

((x^2)-x)/2-(36)=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


(x^2-x)-36*2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(x^2-x)-72=0

We get rid of parentheses

x^2-x-72=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-1x-72=0

a = 1; b = -1; c = -72;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·1·(-72)
Δ = 289
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{289}=17$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-17}{2*1}=\frac{-16}{2}
=-8
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+17}{2*1}=\frac{18}{2}
=9
