(w-8)w+5=14

Solution for (w-8)w+5=14 equation:

(w-8)w+5=14

We move all terms to the left:

(w-8)w+5-(14)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(w-8)w-9=0

We multiply parentheses

w^2-8w-9=0

a = 1; b = -8; c = -9;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·1·(-9)
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-10}{2*1}=\frac{-2}{2}
=-1
$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+10}{2*1}=\frac{18}{2}
=9
