462=x^2-x

Solution for 462=x^2-x equation:

462=x^2-x

We move all terms to the left:

462-(x^2-x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-x^2+x+462=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x^2+x+462=0

a = -1; b = 1; c = +462;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·(-1)·462
Δ = 1849
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1849}=43$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-43}{2*-1}=\frac{-44}{-2}
=+22
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+43}{2*-1}=\frac{42}{-2}
=-21
