-40+2x^2=11x

Solution for -40+2x^2=11x equation:

-40+2x^2=11x

We move all terms to the left:

-40+2x^2-(11x)=0

a = 2; b = -11; c = -40;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -112-4·2·(-40)
Δ = 441
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{441}=21$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-11)-21}{2*2}=\frac{-10}{4}
=-2+1/2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-11)+21}{2*2}=\frac{32}{4}
=8
