X^2-8x-46=-5

Solution for X^2-8x-46=-5 equation:

X^2-8X-46=-5

We move all terms to the left:

X^2-8X-46-(-5)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2-8X-41=0

a = 1; b = -8; c = -41;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·1·(-41)
Δ = 228
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{228}=\sqrt{4*57}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{57}=2\sqrt{57}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-2\sqrt{57}}{2*1}=\frac{8-2\sqrt{57}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+2\sqrt{57}}{2*1}=\frac{8+2\sqrt{57}}{2}
