a^2+20=56

Solution for a^2+20=56 equation:

a^2+20=56

We move all terms to the left:

a^2+20-(56)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2-36=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -36;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-36)
Δ = 144
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{144}=12$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-12}{2*1}=\frac{-12}{2}
=-6
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+12}{2*1}=\frac{12}{2}
=6
