m^2-17=6

Solution for m^2-17=6 equation:

m^2-17=6

We move all terms to the left:

m^2-17-(6)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

m^2-23=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -23;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-23)
Δ = 92
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{92}=\sqrt{4*23}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{23}=2\sqrt{23}$
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-2\sqrt{23}}{2*1}=\frac{0-2\sqrt{23}}{2}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{23}}{2}
=-\sqrt{23}
$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2\sqrt{23}}{2*1}=\frac{0+2\sqrt{23}}{2}
=\frac{2\sqrt{23}}{2}
=\sqrt{23}
