a^2+13=20

Solution for a^2+13=20 equation:

a^2+13=20

We move all terms to the left:

a^2+13-(20)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2-7=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -7;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-7)
Δ = 28
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{28}=\sqrt{4*7}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{7}=2\sqrt{7}$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-2\sqrt{7}}{2*1}=\frac{0-2\sqrt{7}}{2}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{7}}{2}
=-\sqrt{7}
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2\sqrt{7}}{2*1}=\frac{0+2\sqrt{7}}{2}
=\frac{2\sqrt{7}}{2}
=\sqrt{7}
