Solution for X^2-5x+2=10 equation:

X^2-5X+2=10

We move all terms to the left:

X^2-5X+2-(10)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2-5X-8=0

a = 1; b = -5; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -52-4·1·(-8)
Δ = 57
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{57}}{2*1}=\frac{5-\sqrt{57}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)+\sqrt{57}}{2*1}=\frac{5+\sqrt{57}}{2}
