40+5x2=140

Solution for 40+5x2=140 equation:

40+5x^2=140

We move all terms to the left:

40+5x^2-(140)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5x^2-100=0

a = 5; b = 0; c = -100;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·5·(-100)
Δ = 2000
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{2000}=\sqrt{400*5}=\sqrt{400}*\sqrt{5}=20\sqrt{5}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-20\sqrt{5}}{2*5}=\frac{0-20\sqrt{5}}{10}
=-\frac{20\sqrt{5}}{10}
=-2\sqrt{5}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+20\sqrt{5}}{2*5}=\frac{0+20\sqrt{5}}{10}
=\frac{20\sqrt{5}}{10}
=2\sqrt{5}
