a^2-a=7

Solution for a^2-a=7 equation:

a^2-a=7

We move all terms to the left:

a^2-a-(7)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2-1a-7=0

a = 1; b = -1; c = -7;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·1·(-7)
Δ = 29
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-\sqrt{29}}{2*1}=\frac{1-\sqrt{29}}{2}
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+\sqrt{29}}{2*1}=\frac{1+\sqrt{29}}{2}
