2x^2-20x-131=0

Solution for 2x^2-20x-131=0 equation:

2x^2-20x-131=0

a = 2; b = -20; c = -131;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -202-4·2·(-131)
Δ = 1448
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1448}=\sqrt{4*362}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{362}=2\sqrt{362}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)-2\sqrt{362}}{2*2}=\frac{20-2\sqrt{362}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)+2\sqrt{362}}{2*2}=\frac{20+2\sqrt{362}}{4}
