2n=n^2-6n-20

Solution for 2n=n^2-6n-20 equation:

2n=n^2-6n-20

We move all terms to the left:

2n-(n^2-6n-20)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-n^2+2n+6n+20=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1n^2+8n+20=0

a = -1; b = 8; c = +20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·(-1)·20
Δ = 144
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{144}=12$
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-12}{2*-1}=\frac{-20}{-2}
=+10
$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+12}{2*-1}=\frac{4}{-2}
=-2
