X^2+20x=468

Solution for X^2+20x=468 equation:

X^2+20X=468

We move all terms to the left:

X^2+20X-(468)=0

a = 1; b = 20; c = -468;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 202-4·1·(-468)
Δ = 2272
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{2272}=\sqrt{16*142}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{142}=4\sqrt{142}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(20)-4\sqrt{142}}{2*1}=\frac{-20-4\sqrt{142}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(20)+4\sqrt{142}}{2*1}=\frac{-20+4\sqrt{142}}{2}
