Y=24+2x-x^2

Solution for Y=24+2x-x^2 equation:

=24+2Y-Y^2

We move all terms to the left:

-(24+2Y-Y^2)=0

We get rid of parentheses

Y^2-2Y-24=0

a = 1; b = -2; c = -24;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·1·(-24)
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-10}{2*1}=\frac{-8}{2}
=-4
$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+10}{2*1}=\frac{12}{2}
=6
