2x^2-8x=x^2-5x

Solution for 2x^2-8x=x^2-5x equation:

2x^2-8x=x^2-5x

We move all terms to the left:

2x^2-8x-(x^2-5x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

2x^2-x^2-8x+5x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-3x=0

a = 1; b = -3; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -32-4·1·0
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)-3}{2*1}=\frac{0}{2}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)+3}{2*1}=\frac{6}{2}
=3
