1.286=x+x^2

Solution for 1.286=x+x^2 equation:

1.286=x+x^2

We move all terms to the left:

1.286-(x+x^2)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-x^2-x+1.286=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x^2-1x+1.286=0

a = -1; b = -1; c = +1.286;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·(-1)·1.286
Δ = 6.144
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-\sqrt{6.144}}{2*-1}=\frac{1-\sqrt{6.144}}{-2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+\sqrt{6.144}}{2*-1}=\frac{1+\sqrt{6.144}}{-2}
