X^2-10x+13=8

Solution for X^2-10x+13=8 equation:

X^2-10X+13=8

We move all terms to the left:

X^2-10X+13-(8)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2-10X+5=0

a = 1; b = -10; c = +5;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·1·5
Δ = 80
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{80}=\sqrt{16*5}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{5}=4\sqrt{5}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-4\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{10-4\sqrt{5}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+4\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{10+4\sqrt{5}}{2}
