2w^2-1w=15

Solution for 2w^2-1w=15 equation:

2w^2-1w=15

We move all terms to the left:

2w^2-1w-(15)=0

a = 2; b = -1; c = -15;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·2·(-15)
Δ = 121
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{121}=11$
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-11}{2*2}=\frac{-10}{4}
=-2+1/2
$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+11}{2*2}=\frac{12}{4}
=3
