Solution for X^2-16x+74=2x equation:

X^2-16X+74=2X

We move all terms to the left:

X^2-16X+74-(2X)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2-18X+74=0

a = 1; b = -18; c = +74;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -182-4·1·74
Δ = 28
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{28}=\sqrt{4*7}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{7}=2\sqrt{7}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-18)-2\sqrt{7}}{2*1}=\frac{18-2\sqrt{7}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-18)+2\sqrt{7}}{2*1}=\frac{18+2\sqrt{7}}{2}
