5x+x^2=54

Solution for 5x+x^2=54 equation:

5x+x^2=54

We move all terms to the left:

5x+x^2-(54)=0

a = 1; b = 5; c = -54;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·1·(-54)
Δ = 241
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-\sqrt{241}}{2*1}=\frac{-5-\sqrt{241}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+\sqrt{241}}{2*1}=\frac{-5+\sqrt{241}}{2}
