Solution for 122.4=20.8T-.8T^2 equation:


Simplifying
122.4 = 20.8T + -0.8T2

Solving
122.4 = 20.8T + -0.8T2

Solving for variable 'T'.

Reorder the terms:
122.4 + -20.8T + 0.8T2 = 20.8T + -20.8T + -0.8T2 + 0.8T2

Combine like terms: 20.8T + -20.8T = 0.0
122.4 + -20.8T + 0.8T2 = 0.0 + -0.8T2 + 0.8T2
122.4 + -20.8T + 0.8T2 = -0.8T2 + 0.8T2

Combine like terms: -0.8T2 + 0.8T2 = 0.0
122.4 + -20.8T + 0.8T2 = 0.0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
0.8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '0.8'.
153 + -26T + T2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-153' to each side of the equation.
153 + -26T + -153 + T2 = 0 + -153

Reorder the terms:
153 + -153 + -26T + T2 = 0 + -153

Combine like terms: 153 + -153 = 0
0 + -26T + T2 = 0 + -153
-26T + T2 = 0 + -153

Combine like terms: 0 + -153 = -153
-26T + T2 = -153

The T term is -26T.  Take half its coefficient (-13).
Square it (169) and add it to both sides.

Add '169' to each side of the equation.
-26T + 169 + T2 = -153 + 169

Reorder the terms:
169 + -26T + T2 = -153 + 169

Combine like terms: -153 + 169 = 16
169 + -26T + T2 = 16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(T + -13)(T + -13) = 16

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(T + -13) equal to 4 and -4.

Subproblem 1

T + -13 = 4 Simplifying T + -13 = 4 Reorder the terms: -13 + T = 4 Solving -13 + T = 4 Solving for variable 'T'. Move all terms containing T to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '13' to each side of the equation. -13 + 13 + T = 4 + 13 Combine like terms: -13 + 13 = 0 0 + T = 4 + 13 T = 4 + 13 Combine like terms: 4 + 13 = 17 T = 17 Simplifying T = 17

Subproblem 2

T + -13 = -4 Simplifying T + -13 = -4 Reorder the terms: -13 + T = -4 Solving -13 + T = -4 Solving for variable 'T'. Move all terms containing T to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '13' to each side of the equation. -13 + 13 + T = -4 + 13 Combine like terms: -13 + 13 = 0 0 + T = -4 + 13 T = -4 + 13 Combine like terms: -4 + 13 = 9 T = 9 Simplifying T = 9

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. T = {17, 9}
