5+2x-x^2=4

Solution for 5+2x-x^2=4 equation:

5+2x-x^2=4

We move all terms to the left:

5+2x-x^2-(4)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x^2+2x+1=0

a = -1; b = 2; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·(-1)·1
Δ = 8
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:

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