4x+10+x^2=42

Solution for 4x+10+x^2=42 equation:

4x+10+x^2=42

We move all terms to the left:

4x+10+x^2-(42)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2+4x-32=0

a = 1; b = 4; c = -32;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·1·(-32)
Δ = 144
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{144}=12$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-12}{2*1}=\frac{-16}{2}
=-8
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+12}{2*1}=\frac{8}{2}
=4
