Solution for c^2+4c-17=-6 equation:

c^2+4c-17=-6

We move all terms to the left:

c^2+4c-17-(-6)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

c^2+4c-11=0

a = 1; b = 4; c = -11;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·1·(-11)
Δ = 60
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$c_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$c_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{60}=\sqrt{4*15}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{15}=2\sqrt{15}$
$c_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-2\sqrt{15}}{2*1}=\frac{-4-2\sqrt{15}}{2}
$
$c_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+2\sqrt{15}}{2*1}=\frac{-4+2\sqrt{15}}{2}
