X^2-8x+14=2x-7

Solution for X^2-8x+14=2x-7 equation:

X^2-8X+14=2X-7

We move all terms to the left:

X^2-8X+14-(2X-7)=0

We get rid of parentheses

X^2-8X-2X+7+14=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2-10X+21=0

a = 1; b = -10; c = +21;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·1·21
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-4}{2*1}=\frac{6}{2}
=3
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+4}{2*1}=\frac{14}{2}
=7
