2a^2+8a-15=3a-3

Solution for 2a^2+8a-15=3a-3 equation:

2a^2+8a-15=3a-3

We move all terms to the left:

2a^2+8a-15-(3a-3)=0

We get rid of parentheses

2a^2+8a-3a+3-15=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2a^2+5a-12=0

a = 2; b = 5; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·2·(-12)
Δ = 121
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{121}=11$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-11}{2*2}=\frac{-16}{4}
=-4
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+11}{2*2}=\frac{6}{4}
=1+1/2
